Having a cute, fluffy friend to join yourinZOIcharacter on their adventures makes life that much more heartwarming. However, while you can have animals in your world and watch them wander around the environment, whether you can own a pet is an entirely different story.

Can you get pets in inZOI?

At the time of writing,inZOIdoesn’t let you own pets. You can add wild animals to your world, but you can’t adopt a pet and have it live with you. There’s no word on an exact release date for them or whether they’ll be part of the game’s base game, but Krafton has confirmed they’ll appear eventually.

As detailed in Krafton’s Discord FAQ channels, pets were not available duringinZOI’sinitial Early Access launch but are a “high priority for future updates.” In short, while we don’t have them yet, we’ll probably get them either duringinZOI’slater EA stages or after its full release.
