inZOI player count: how many people play it

About 2,200 people play inZOI on Steam at the same time, on average. That is the 30-day average on Steam Charts, which we read on November 10, 2026. The peak in those 30 days was 4,106 players.

At launch, the number was much higher. inZOI entered Steam Early Access on March 28, 2025. SteamDB recorded a peak of 87,377 players on that day, as TheGamer reported. Krafton said that the game sold 1 million copies in its first week.

These numbers count Steam only. inZOI is a PC game, and its PS5 version is not out yet. A concurrent count is the number of people in the game at one moment. It is not the number of people who own the game.

The table shows the Steam Charts numbers for inZOI, read on November 10, 2026.

On the day we checked, 1,542 people played inZOI at the time of reading, and the 24-hour peak was 2,433. The September 2026 average rose 51.55% over August. The October average then fell 18.83%.

An update can bring players back, and the September 2026 rise is one example. Our page of inZOI patch notes lists what each update added.

The all-time peak of inZOI is 87,377 players, on March 28, 2025, according to SteamDB. TheGamer and Game Rant both cited that number in April 2025. Insider Gaming rounded it to 87,000.

Steam Charts shows a lower all-time peak: 77,325. Steam Charts checks the player count less often than SteamDB, and it has no row for March 2025. So it can miss the top of a short spike. Use the SteamDB number for the launch peak.

Some tracker sites show other numbers again. ActivePlayer.io calls 35,251 the all-time peak. That number is the April 2025 peak from Steam Charts, not the launch day peak.

No. The player count is much lower than at launch, but it has stayed in the low thousands for more than a year. The lowest month on Steam Charts was October 2025, at an average of 1,245. Every month in 2026 that we checked was higher than that.

The big fall came early. Two weeks after launch, the daily peak was 12,950, which TheGamer called an 85% drop. In June 2025, TheGamer reported a 98% drop in under three months. It also noted that The Sims 3 had more players at that time.

That pattern is common for a single-player Early Access game. Many people buy at launch, play for some weeks, and come back for a big update. In April 2025, a player on Steam asked: “Already down to 24,000? I get this is EA but thats a big dip in numbers in short span of time.” Another player in the same thread answered: “the thing to watch for is NOT player count but update frequency.”

Sales also matter. Krafton said in its results for 2025, published on February 9, 2026, that inZOI had passed one million units sold. We found no newer sales number from Krafton. For our full view of the game, read Is inZOI worth it? and the inZOI roadmap.

About 870 people play Paralives on Steam at the same time, on average. That is the 30-day average on Steam Charts on November 10, 2026. The peak in those 30 days was 2,052.

Paralives entered Early Access on May 25, 2026, with a peak of 78,603 players at the same time. OpenCritic and Sims Community reported that number from SteamDB. Steam Charts shows only 45,490 as the all-time peak, because its table starts in June 2026.

Paralives sold well. The team reported 250,000 copies in the first 8 hours. On June 24, 2026, the studio announced 1 million copies. See the Paralives release date page for the launch details.

Krafton has given one sales number: more than 1 million copies. It sold 1 million in the first week of Early Access, as Insider Gaming reported on April 4, 2025. The results of Krafton for 2025 repeat that inZOI passed one million units. We found no newer total.

Copies sold and players at the same time measure different things. A copy counts each buyer once, for good. A concurrent count shows only the people who play at one moment. So a game can sell 1 million copies and still show 2,000 players on a normal day.

Paralives has more public sales data. The studio announced 1 million copies on June 24, 2026. On July 17, 2026, Sims Community reported more than 1.1 million units from Steam data that GameDiscoverCo shared, with about 72,000 refunds.

inZOI has more players than Paralives on Steam now, and far fewer than The Sims 4. These are the Steam Charts numbers of November 10, 2026:

The comparison is not fair to The Sims 4 in one way: Steam shows only part of its players. The Sims 4 is free to play and also runs through the EA app and on consoles. Read Is The Sims 4 on Steam? for the details.

It can, but not soon. The inZOI team moved the PS5 version to the first half of 2027. It had planned 2026 before. Push Square reported the delay on July 3, 2026. Console players do not show on Steam Charts, so a PS5 launch will not change the Steam numbers. Read the inZOI PS5 release date page for updates.

1. Open steamcharts.com/app/2456740 for the current count, the 24-hour peak, and the monthly table.
2. Open SteamDB for the launch peak. SteamDB checks more often, so its peaks are more exact.
3. Compare the same period on both sites. Do not compare a SteamDB peak with a Steam Charts average.
4. Check the date of the last update. A new patch can lift the count.

Remember that a player count is not a review. A smaller game can still fit you well. Check the inZOI system requirements before you buy.

LifeSim is the game we make. It runs in a web browser and on iPhone, and it is free. You live one life in a real city, and you talk to people in your own words. It does not have the realistic graphics or the build mode of inZOI. If those are what you want, stay with inZOI.
