Cozy Grove: revision #10

+2445 / −0 characters

**Cozy Grove** is a life-simulation game about camping on a haunted, ever-changing island, developed and published by Seattle-based studio Spry Fox.[^1][^3] It debuted on Apple Arcade on 19 March 2021, about three weeks ahead of its console and PC release in early April 2021.[^2]

## Gameplay

As a Spirit Scout, the player wanders the island's forest each day, finds hidden secrets, and helps soothe the local ghosts; through crafting and daily attention, color and joy gradually return to Cozy Grove.[^1] Like [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons]], it is designed around short real-time daily sessions rather than marathon play.

## Development and release

After the Apple Arcade debut, Cozy Grove was announced for 8 April 2021 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store at $14.99 (Steam's own listing shows 7 April).[^2][^1]

In October 2022, Netflix acquired Spry Fox, making it Netflix's sixth in-house games studio.[^3] A sequel, *Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit*, launched on mobile via Netflix Games on 25 June 2024,[^4] and the game's official site announced Camp Spirit for PC and consoles on 15 July 2026.[^5]

## Reception

Cozy Grove found its audience among players looking for gentle daily rituals — its haunted-campsite premise wrapping themes of memory and letting go in an unmistakably [[cozy-game|cozy]] package.
