Netflix had added another studio to its first-party lineup. The streaming giant has acquired Spry Fox, the team most known for its wholesome sim game Cozy Grove.
The studio announced the move on its website. It reassured players that its existing games won’t be going anywhere and then spoke about how being acquired lets the team focus on making games “as enjoyable and fulfilling” while not having to divert attention to making money. Netflix’s reach will also let Spry Fox’s games reach more players, according to the post.

It also mentioned two of its games, but didn’t give too many specifics on either. Cozy Grove 2, which was announced in June, is still in development as well as an unannounced nonviolent MMO. It’s just unclear how those are moving forward and what platforms they would support.
The blog wrapped up by saying that its 13-year history as a studio has been “exhilarating, humbling, endlessly interesting, and often challenging” and that it wants to continue creating “original, world-class cozy games,” something it is “confident” Netflix will help with.
