On its launch day, on March 28, InZoi reached a peak concurrent player count of 87,377, as reported by SteamDB. Two weeks later, the player count reached a maximum of 12,950, marking a decrease of approximately 85 per cent.

As per recent reports, the new game already stands at the second lowest position out of a table of other popular games like Marvel Rivals, Delta Force, and Once Human. Only Palworld stands behind Zoi in the list.
