Netflix Unveils First MMO: Spirit Crossing Launching Soon

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're familiar with Spry Fox's previous titles like *Cozy Grove* and *Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit*, you can expect the same warm pastel visuals, soothing music, and an emphasis on connection rather than competition.

Here’s What We Know About Netflix Spirit Crossing

In *Spirit Crossing*, players will have the opportunity to explore an expansive world, build and decorate homes, and cultivate a thriving village alongside others. Activities include gathering resources, riding around on adorable fluffy creatures, joining dance parties, and simply enjoying the vibe with friends.

The game draws visual inspiration from Studio Ghibli, French comics, and even incorporates elements of modern art styles like Corporate Memphis. The aim is to create an environment that feels timeless and inviting, a place where players might want to spend years.

*Spirit Crossing* introduces a unique in-game calendar system that influences the game's progression. For instance, trees you plant will take three to six real-world months to mature into a harvestable orchard. This slow-paced, long-term design echoes the approach Spry Fox successfully explored in *Cozy Grove*.

Central to the game is the focus on fostering meaningful connections, a principle deeply ingrained in Spry Fox's design philosophy. Studio co-founder David Edery has expressed his vision for *Spirit Crossing* as a space that transforms strangers into friends.

Netflix has recently released a trailer for *Spirit Crossing*, showcasing its charming and enchanting atmosphere. Why not take a moment to watch it for yourself?

Sign Up for the Closed Alpha

Currently, Netflix and Spry Fox are inviting players to participate in a closed alpha test for *Spirit Crossing*. If you're eager to experience the game early, you can sign up via the official closed alpha test page.

The game is slated for a full launch later this year. In the meantime, don't miss our next feature on *The Great Sneeze*, a playful puzzle adventure inspired by classic art, available now.
