Hacking the simulator inZOI all the fans who are already tired of it are waiting for The Sims and want to try something new. The presence of any anti-piracy protection, including Denuvo, has not been officially confirmed: no statements have been made on this matter, and there is no information on the Steam page about third-party DRM. However, the developers promise legal reprisals against all hackers and may add Denuvo.
For those who for some reason cannot purchase a license, this news should give hope for a quick release of the project in the "green store". In the article, we will tell you when Inza will be hacked and provide comparative statistics on the appearance of "free" versions of recent AAA games with Denuvo protection.
UPD: Before the release of the game, the developers officially refused to implement Denuvo in inZOI.
When inZOI gets hacked
There are several factors that influence a full-fledged hack by Inza:
- No Denuvo - The game is coming out in early access on March 28, and according to the information on the Steam page, third-party DRM has not been added to the project. There are rumors on the forums that protection will appear, but the developers have not yet commented on them.
- Access to online features - even if the game is hacked, pirates are unlikely to have full access to online features. Features such as AI texture generation, a 3D printer for interior items, and transmitting emotions to characters via a smartphone camera will not be available on a pirated version. To use these features, you will need a constant network connection.
If Denuvo is added, then you shouldn't count on the project appearing in the "green store" anytime soon. In the following table, you can compare how quickly the latest projects with third-party DRM were cracked.

Based on the available information, we can draw some conclusions:
- If Denuvo is in the project, there will be no "free" version to download for months or years to come. The hacker EMPRESS has long since retired, and the only game she has hacked recently was Dragon's Dogma 2. The recent Metaphor: ReFantazio was released to the public domain due to a developer error, and its hack has nothing to do with Denuvo.
- The only hope is for newcomers, but even they have not been able to break a single project over the past year.

The game will be released on PC in early access on March 28, with a PS5 and Xbox release promised a little later. In order not to wait for the project to be hacked, you can purchase the game in any of the ways available in Russia:
We hope this article helped us find out when Denuvo inZOI protection will be cracked and whether it will have third-party DRM. Share on comments, will you buy the game or wait for the "free" version?
