Netflix is venturing into the world of MMOs with Spirit Crossing, a cozy life-simulation game developed by Spry Fox, announced at GDC 2025. If you've enjoyed Spry Fox's previous titles like Cozy Grove and Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, you can look forward to enchanting pastel visuals, soothing music, and a gameplay focus on fostering connections rather than competition.
Here’s What We Know About Netflix Spirit Crossing
In Spirit Crossing, you'll have the opportunity to explore a vast world, build and decorate homes, and cultivate a thriving village alongside other players. You can gather resources, ride around on adorable fluffy creatures, join dance parties, and simply enjoy the company of friends.
The game draws visual inspiration from Studio Ghibli, French comics, and even elements of the modern Corporate Memphis style, aiming to create a timeless and welcoming atmosphere where players might want to settle in for years.
Spirit Crossing introduces a unique in-game calendar system that influences your progress. For instance, trees you plant will take three to six real-world months to grow into a harvestable orchard. This long-term, slow-paced design echoes Spry Fox's approach seen in Cozy Grove.
The game emphasizes building meaningful connections, a core element of Spry Fox's design philosophy. Studio co-founder David Edery expressed his vision for Spirit Crossing as a space that can turn strangers into friends.
Netflix has released a captivating trailer for Spirit Crossing. Don't miss out—watch it below to get a sense of the charm and beauty awaiting you:
