Spry Fox, the team behind the popular life simulation game Cozy Grove, has been working on a new project. After initially announcing a large-scale online game called Spirit Crossing following their acquisition by Netflix, Spry Fox is now operating as an independent studio again. This change has left the future of Spirit Crossing uncertain. Recently, Spry Fox co-founder David Edery shared a blog post explaining the split from Netflix and outlining the plans for Spirit Crossing moving forward.
Edery recently shared a new blog post about Spirit Crossing, giving us a significant update on the game. After Spry Fox decided to return to being an independent studio in December, they announced changes to the game’s plans. Originally created for mobile devices as part of Netflix, Spirit Crossing will now also be released on Steam. While Netflix subscribers will still get a free mobile version, launching on Steam greatly expands the potential player base. The game is currently scheduled to launch later this year.
Spry Fox’s Spirit Crossing To Launch in Late 2026, With a Public Beta Test This Spring
We haven’t heard much about Spirit Crossing since it was announced, so many expected it to be far off. However, Spry Fox, now independent again, recently announced they’re aiming to release the game in late 2026. While this timeline could shift as the studio adjusts its business after leaving Netflix, it’s possible we’ll get a first look at the cozy MMORPG sometime this year.
The developer wants Spirit Crossing to be more than just a game – they hope it will help people connect, be kinder to each other, and feel less lonely. While many online games involve social interaction, Spirit Crossing will especially focus on teamwork and building a strong community. Fans of Cozy Grove will likely be interested in this new release, and we might get a first glimpse of it this spring if everything goes as planned.

Spry Fox is planning to release a public beta version of Spirit Crossing around April-June 2026, giving players a first look before the full game launches later that year. They’re skipping the traditional Early Access phase, but want to gather feedback through this beta test. The developers also plan to keep players updated on the game’s progress and be open about the development process.
With plans to release Spirit Crossing on multiple platforms, the game is now available to add to your wishlist on Steam. Currently, PC and the Netflix mobile version are the only confirmed platforms. However, the developers at Spry Fox intend to release the game on several platforms, which could include consoles in the future.
