inZOI, powered by NVIDIA Ace AI, will feature incredibly realistic and engaging human-like NPCs. This article explores NVIDIA Ace's role in creating a truly immersive experience.
A Simulated World Alive
Krafton, the developer of inZOI, utilizes NVIDIA's Ace AI technology to bring its NPCs, known as Smart Zois, to life. This advanced AI allows for dynamic behavior and reactions to the game's environment, shaping their personalities based on their experiences.
An NVIDIA GeForce YouTube video, "NVIDIA ACE | inZOI - Create Simulated Cities with Co-Playable Characters," showcases the Smart Zois' independent actions. When activated, these NPCs lead active lives, pursuing personal schedules that include work, socializing, and more. Their interactions extend beyond direct player engagement, influencing each other even without player intervention.

For instance, a compassionate Smart Zoi might assist others, providing food or directions. A supportive Smart Zoi could actively promote a street performer, building their audience. The game's "Thought" system allows players to delve into the Smart Zois' motivations. Daily self-reflection further refines their future behavior.
The result, as the video highlights, is a vibrant and diverse city teeming with unpredictable social interactions, creating a richly dynamic and narrative-driven simulation.
inZOI launches in Early Access on March 28th, 2025, on Steam for PC. Learn more about inZOI in our dedicated articles!
