As Netflix approaches their first anniversary of launching games in November, they announced that Spry Fox is joining the OTT giant to become their sixth in-house games studio. Spry Fox is an award-winning independent studio focused on cozy, original games.
Their unique approach to game development and success with titles like Triple Town, Alphabear and Cozy Grove will help accelerate our creative development in another beloved genre and add to the growing variety of Netflix’s games catalog that will have something for everyone.
“When David and I founded Spry Fox twelve years ago, our goal was to create a place where kind, creative people could make beautiful, original games in a supportive environment that brought happiness to the people who played them. After many heartfelt conversations, we are all excited about joining Netflix as an in-house game studio and building amazing games together,” said Spry Fox co-founder Daniel Cook.
In a statement Netflix mentioned that they look forward to creating games with a studio whose values — a relentless focus on employee and player joy — align closely with theirs. Their games journey has only just begun, but they are proud of the foundational work they have been doing to build out their in-house creative capacity so that they can deliver the best possible games experience — including no ads and no in-app purchases — to the members as part of their membership.
