inZOI, the latest life simulation game from Krafton, has made a significant impact by selling 1 million copies within just one week of its Early Access launch on Steam. This achievement marks the fastest sales milestone for any game published by the South Korean giant, showcasing the immense popularity and immediate success of this title.

Launched on March 28, inZOI quickly grabbed headlines, not just for its sales but also due to an unexpected bug that allowed players to harm children in the game. Krafton swiftly addressed this issue, labeling it an "unintended bug" and promptly patching it out. Despite this initial hiccup, the game has maintained a 'very positive' user review rating on Steam. Its launch was further highlighted by a peak of 175,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch, securing the third spot in the Games category. Remarkably, inZOI soared to the top of Steam's Global Top Sellers List by sales revenue within just 40 minutes of going live.

The game's in-game user-generated content (UGC) platform, Canvas, also saw tremendous engagement, with over 1.2 million participants on launch day and more than 470,000 pieces of content uploaded. This level of community interaction underscores the game's appeal and the creativity it inspires among players.

IGN's review of inZOI's Early Access version gave it a 6/10, praising its visual appeal and ambition but noting a lack of depth at this stage. Despite this, Krafton's efforts in promoting inZOI and maintaining open lines of communication with its community have been pivotal in building trust and momentum. The company highlighted the success of its global showcase and demo build in generating high interest.

CEO CH Kim expressed gratitude for the global reception of inZOI and reiterated Krafton's commitment to ongoing communication with players and the development of inZOI as a long-term franchise IP.

Looking forward, Krafton plans to enhance inZOI with future updates that will introduce new content, including mod support and new cities. All updates and DLC will be provided for free until the game's full release. In response to player feedback and reported issues, Krafton has committed to applying quick fixes through hotfixes in April. The company acknowledges the scale of inZOI's global community as a "next-level experience" and is navigating the challenges of optimal communication strategies.
