Spirit Crossing, the social life-simulation MMO from Cozy Grove developer Spry Fox, is launching on November 16, 2026. The studio announced the date during the October 28 Nintendo Indie World presentation, confirming that Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 will join the previously announced PC versions on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The date is listed on Nintendo's official store and in Spry Fox's press announcement. It gives the project a firm launch plan after several years of development and a series of public playtests.
Making a home in the Crosslands
Set in the Crosslands, Spirit Crossing invites players to explore floating landscapes, help troubled spirits and build a personal home high above the clouds. Its online world emphasizes cooperation and quiet social activities rather than combat competition. Players can fish, gather materials, decorate spaces and take part in community events while getting to know other people.
The studio says its friendship system is designed to let relationships develop gradually, unlocking interactions such as gift-giving, shared expressions and social options as players become closer. Communication and permissions are meant to be adjustable, giving players control over the kinds of interactions they are comfortable with.
Character customization is another major part of the game, with choices spanning hairstyles, clothing, accessories and expressive emotes. Homes and communal Waystations also provide spaces to build and decorate together. The independent announcement at Gematsu confirms the launch timing and the additional Nintendo platforms.
Demo progress and launch plans
Spry Fox's Steam announcement says its existing PC demo will remain available through November 9 and that progress from the demo can carry over into the full game when it launches. Players on Nintendo systems will have separate platform versions; the Switch 2 listing warns that save data and additional content are not compatible between the Switch and Switch 2 editions.
Although the developers have outlined the game's social vision in detail, there is no reason to assume every server or community feature will operate identically at launch. The confirmed news is a specific November 16 date, alongside the addition of both Nintendo platforms to the release plan.
