Netflix Unveils First MMO: Spirit Crossing Coming Soon

Netflix is making its mark in the MMO space with the announcement of *Spirit Crossing*, a cozy life-simulation game developed by Spry Fox. Revealed at GDC 2025, this game follows in the footsteps of Spry Fox's beloved titles like *Cozy Grove* and *Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit*, promising warm pastel visuals, soothing music, and a strong emphasis on connection over competition.

Here’s What We Know About Netflix's Spirit Crossing

*Spirit Crossing* invites players to explore a vast world where they can build and decorate homes, and cultivate a thriving village alongside others. Activities include gathering resources, riding on adorable fluffy creatures, joining dance parties, and simply enjoying the company of friends.

Visually, the game draws inspiration from Studio Ghibli, French comics, and even touches of modern art styles such as Corporate Memphis. The aim is to create an environment that feels both timeless and familiar, encouraging players to settle in for the long haul.

One unique feature is the 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, long-term design is a signature element that Spry Fox explored successfully in *Cozy Grove*.

Central to *Spirit Crossing* is the theme of building meaningful connections, a core aspect of Spry Fox's design philosophy. Studio co-founder David Edery has expressed a vision for the game to be a space that fosters friendships among players.

Netflix has released a trailer for *Spirit Crossing* that showcases its charming and enchanting world. You can watch it here:
