Hozy is out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. tinyBuild’s cosy renovation game made the jump to consoles on November 9, bringing its gentle, no-pressure home makeovers to a whole new audience, and it costs $14.99, with a 20 percent launch discount for players who pick it up early. PlayStation players will need an active PlayStation Plus membership to claim the discount, while Xbox players can grab it at the reduced price without one.
The console launch is a big moment for a game that has quietly built a loyal following on PC and Mac, where more than 500,000 renovators have already picked up a paintbrush. Hozy is not a game about deadlines, scores, or failing. It is a game about turning a tired, cluttered house into somewhere you would actually want to live, one room at a time, and the console version keeps that philosophy exactly intact.
What Is Hozy?
Hozy is a cosy renovation game in which players restore and decorate homes across nine unique levels, plus a bonus level for players who want to keep going. Each house has its own personality, its own mess, and its own story, and the job is to clean it up, choose the colours and furniture, and hand it back looking better than you found it. There are hidden secrets tucked away in the levels for players who like to poke around, and pets to adopt along the way, which is exactly the kind of detail that tells you what sort of game this is.
The game is deliberately built around calm. There are no timers, no scores, and no way to fail a renovation. The weather changes, the seasons pass, and the houses reflect that, but nothing in Hozy is ever in a rush. It is a game designed to be played in the evening, with a cup of tea, while the rest of the world waits outside. That is a specific kind of appeal, and the half a million players who have already tried it on PC suggest it is a popular one.
For console players, the appeal is the same, just with a controller in hand. The renovation tools have been adapted for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the game runs on both platforms from today. The launch trailer, embedded below, shows the game in action, and it is a good two-minute summary of what Hozy is: bright rooms, satisfying cleaning, and a house that slowly becomes a home.
Hozy on PS5 and Xbox: Price, Discount, and What Is Next
The price is straightforward. Hozy costs $14.99 on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the 20 percent launch discount brings that down for early buyers. On PlayStation, the discount is tied to PlayStation Plus, so players will need an active membership to get the reduced price. On Xbox, the discount is available to everyone. It is worth checking the exact price on your store of choice before buying, as regional pricing can vary.
The launch is not the end of the story, either. tinyBuild and developer Come On Studio have seasonal content and community challenges planned to keep the game ticking over after launch, and the console version will be part of those plans. The PC and Mac versions already have a community built around sharing renovation ideas, and the console release opens that up to a much larger group of players.
It is also worth noting how well the timing works. November is when cosy games traditionally find their audience, as the nights get longer and players look for something gentle to settle into. Hozy fits that slot neatly, and arriving on consoles just as the season turns is a smart move for a game that has already proved itself on PC.
Why Hozy Is Worth a Look
There are plenty of renovation and decorating games out there, but Hozy stands out because it refuses to add stress to a relaxing premise. A lot of games in the genre add timers, budgets, and judgemental clients to create tension. Hozy does the opposite. It trusts the player to enjoy the process, and it fills the houses with enough character that the process feels worthwhile.
That approach has clearly resonated. Five hundred thousand players is a strong number for an indie game of this kind, and it suggests the audience for cosy, creative games is bigger than it is often given credit for. The console launch is a test of whether that audience is just as big on PlayStation and Xbox, and the early signs, with the launch discount and the seasonal plans, suggest tinyBuild thinks it is.
Players who enjoy a gentler pace can also check out Dokimon Quest II Announced — The Monster-Taming Sequel Forced Out of Japan and Rebuilt in Seoul, another cosy, creature-filled adventure announced this week, and Atelier Karia Just Got a February 25, 2027 Release Date — and the New Trailer Dives Into Noctrem, which offers a very different kind of relaxing role-playing adventure. Hozy is the quietest of the three, and that is precisely its charm.
