Netflix Unveils First MMO: Spirit Crossing Launches This Year

Netflix is expanding its gaming portfolio with the announcement of **Spirit Crossing**, a cozy life-simulation MMO developed by Spry Fox, unveiled at GDC 2025. Fans of Spry Fox's previous titles, such as *Cozy Grove* and *Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit*, can anticipate a similar experience with warm pastel visuals, soothing music, and a focus on community and connection rather than competition.

Here’s What We Know About Netflix Spirit Crossing

In **Spirit Crossing**, players can explore a vast world, build and decorate homes, and cultivate a thriving village alongside others. Activities include gathering resources, riding on fluffy creatures, joining dance parties, and simply enjoying time with friends. The game's visual style draws inspiration from Studio Ghibli, French comics, and modern art like Corporate Memphis, aiming for a timeless and welcoming atmosphere where players feel at home.

A unique feature of **Spirit Crossing** is its in-game calendar system that influences progression. For instance, trees planted by players will take three to six real-world months to mature into a harvestable orchard. This slow-paced design mirrors Spry Fox's previous experiments in *Cozy Grove*, emphasizing patience and long-term engagement.

At the heart of **Spirit Crossing** is the goal of fostering meaningful connections. Spry Fox co-founder David Edery has expressed a vision for the game to transform strangers into friends, continuing the studio's tradition of prioritizing social interaction in their games.

Netflix has released a trailer for **Spirit Crossing**, showcasing its charming and enchanting world. You can check it out below:
