Krafton has lifted the curtain on InZOI first major content update, the Island Getaway DLC, showcased during Gamescom 2025 / Opening Night Live. A playable demo was also made available to attendees, offering a first taste of the new content. Slated for release on August 20, 2025 at 06:00 UTC (11:30 AM IST), this free expansion introduces a tropical destination filled with new activities, customization options, and quality-of-life improvements for players looking to expand their Zoi’s story.
A Tropical Escape: Welcome to Cahaya
At the heart of the DLC is Cahaya, a tropical archipelago inspired by Southeast Asia. Coverage describes a main island and a resort island, with some reports noting three islands, giving players multiple areas to explore. From sandy beaches to vibrant city hubs, Cahaya provides a refreshing change of pace from InZOI’s suburban-style neighborhoods.
Players can:
- Explore resorts and beaches.
- Travel via boat ferries or rent personal boats.
- Swim, snorkel, and dive beneath the waves to encounter marine life.
- Visit gardens, enjoy banana groves, and stumble upon hidden spots perfect for mining and gem collecting.
New Gameplay Activities
The Island Getaway DLC expands the scope of InZOI by adding mechanics that encourage exploration and adventure alongside traditional life-sim gameplay. Key features include:
- Fishing: Equip your Zoi with rods and bait to catch a variety of sea creatures, with collectibles like seahorses added to a new collection log.
- Farming & Gardening: Grow crops, tend to plants, and add produce to your collection.
- Mining & Gem Crafting: Gather materials from the island’s rocky outcrops and craft valuable gems, while leveling up a Gathering skill that can unlock rare jewels.
- Snorkeling & Diving: Progression requires building swimming skills, with sharks adding extra risk to underwater exploration.
- Leisure Activities: Enjoy slip ’n slides, resort relaxation, and boating excursions, including water taxis and higher-end boat rentals that vary in style.
- Trailer Highlights: The new video shows debating, motorcycle riding, fishing, photography, and planting crops, capped by a twist where the Zoi wakes up in prison—revealing it was all a dream.
Travel and Living Systems
A major sandbox addition is the City Travel option via the Zoi’s phone, letting you send part of a household to Cahaya while aging continues. On return, the old home remains preserved, making island life a temporary adventure without losing progress.
Vehicles and Customization Options
To fit the island vibe, Krafton is adding new vehicles such as motorcycles and electric scooters. Players will also gain access to:
- Tropical-themed clothing and hairstyles, perfect for a beach-ready Zoi.
- Expanded furniture sets and decoration items to style island homes.
- New interactions such as thought bubbles, cooperative actions, and random encounters, giving players more ways to build dynamic stories.
Quality-of-Life Improvements
Alongside new content, Krafton is refining the base game with:
- UI/UX improvements for smoother navigation.
- Over 90 new music tracks to freshen up in-game ambiance.
- Gamepad support, currently in a testing phase.
These updates aim to streamline the player experience while broadening creative freedom.
Release Details and Platforms
The Island Getaway DLC will be available for free on August 20, 2025, for PC and Mac players via Steam and the App Store. One Steam license covers both PC and Mac without extra purchase. A PlayStation 5 release is planned for 2026, ensuring console players won’t be left out of the tropical fun.
More than just a content drop, Island Getaway feels like a true expansion pack. It offers new ways for Zois to grow beyond careers and family life, embracing adventure and exploration. InZOI has been in early access since March 2025, and this DLC represents its biggest leap forward to date. For life-sim fans who crave both relaxation and discovery, Cahaya stands out as a dynamic playground that extends InZOI’s appeal.
