Netflix Unveils First MMO: Spirit Crossing Launching Soon

Netflix is venturing into the MMO genre with the announcement of *Spirit Crossing*, a cozy life-simulation game developed by Spry Fox, revealed at GDC 2025. If you're familiar with Spry Fox's previous titles like *Cozy Grove* and *Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit*, you'll recognize the signature elements: warm pastel visuals, soothing music, and a focus on fostering connections rather than competition.

Here’s What We Know About Netflix Spirit Crossing

In *Spirit Crossing*, players will have the opportunity to 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 even modern art influences like Corporate Memphis, aiming to create a timeless and welcoming atmosphere where players feel at home for years to come.

A unique feature of *Spirit Crossing* is its in-game calendar system, which influences the pace of progression. For instance, trees you plant will require three to six real-world months to mature into a harvestable orchard, mirroring the slow-paced design Spry Fox previously explored in *Cozy Grove*. This approach emphasizes patience and long-term engagement.

At the heart of *Spirit Crossing* is the emphasis on creating meaningful connections, a principle central to Spry Fox's design philosophy. Studio co-founder David Edery expressed his vision for the game to be a space where strangers can become friends.

Netflix has released an enchanting trailer for *Spirit Crossing*, showcasing its charming visuals and serene atmosphere. You can view it below:
