Netflix Unveils First MMO: Spirit Crossing Launching Soon

Netflix is venturing into the world of MMOs with their latest announcement at GDC 2025: Spirit Crossing. Developed by Spry Fox, the creators of the beloved Cozy Grove and Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, this cozy life-sim promises to deliver a serene experience with warm pastel visuals, soothing music, and a strong emphasis on building connections rather than competing.

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 their homes, and cultivate a vibrant village alongside others. The game encourages communal activities such as gathering resources, riding on adorable fluffy creatures, participating in dance parties, and simply enjoying the company of friends. The visual style of Spirit Crossing draws inspiration from Studio Ghibli, French comics, and modern art styles like Corporate Memphis, aiming to create a timeless and welcoming environment where players feel at home for years to come.

A unique feature of Spirit Crossing is its in-game calendar system, which influences progression. For instance, trees planted by players will take three to six real-world months to grow into a harvestable orchard, echoing the slow-paced, long-term design approach seen in Cozy Grove. The game also prioritizes meaningful connections, a core element of Spry Fox’s design philosophy. Studio co-founder David Edery has expressed his vision of Spirit Crossing as a space that transforms strangers into friends.

Netflix has recently released an enchanting trailer for Spirit Crossing, which you can check out below to get a glimpse of the game's charm and beauty.
