Netflix Unveils First MMO: Spirit Crossing Coming Soon

Netflix is stepping into MMO territory with Spirit Crossing. It’s a cozy life-sim developed by Spry Fox and was announced at GDC 2025. If you’re familiar with Spry Fox’s past work, like Cozy Grove and Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, you can expect warm pastel visuals, soothing music, and a focus on connection rather than competition.

Here’s What We Know About Netflix Spirit Crossing

The game will let you explore a vast world, build and decorate homes, and cultivate a thriving village alongside others. You can gather resources, ride around on fluffy creatures, join dance parties, and simply unwind with friends.

Visually, Spirit Crossing draws inspiration from Studio Ghibli, French comics, and touches of modern art styles like Corporate Memphis. It’s designed to feel timeless and familiar—a space where players might want to settle in for years.

The game features a unique in-game calendar system that shapes progression. Trees you plant won’t grow instantly; they’ll take three to six real-world months to mature into a full orchard you can harvest. This slow, long-term design echoes the approach Spry Fox pioneered in Cozy Grove.

There’s a strong emphasis on forging meaningful connections—a core principle of Spry Fox’s design philosophy for years. Studio co-founder David Edery shared his vision for Spirit Crossing to be a place where strangers become friends.

Netflix just released a trailer for Spirit Crossing, and it looks charming and delightful. Why not take a look?

Right now, Netflix and Spry Fox are inviting players to sign up for a closed alpha test of Spirit Crossing. If you’d like to experience it early, visit the official closed alpha page.

The game will launch later this year. Until then, explore our next feature on The Great Sneeze Turns Classic Art into a Playful Puzzle Adventure, Out Now.
