Hozy PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions arrive on November 9 with Game+ and Sandbox on day one.
The Xbox version unlocks on November 9 at 9:00am PT; a PS5 unlock time has not been published.
Console players get the cozy renovation game in much better shape than PC players did in March. Publisher tinyBuild and developer Come On Studio are shipping the nine-room story plus the Game+ and Sandbox modes that were added to the PC version after launch, and the PlayStation 5 build leans hard on the DualSense to make mopping, scraping and prying feel physical.
Hozy first launched on Steam for Windows and Mac on March 30, 2026, and Come On Studio said on Steam that more than 100,000 people bought it in its first four days. There are no timers, scores or penalties. You clean a room, rip out what’s broken, then furnish it from a curated set of pieces picked to look good together.
Every Mop Stroke Runs Through the DualSense
tinyBuild product marketing manager Sergey Smirnov laid out the PS5 version on the PlayStation Blog, and the controller is the headline. Each tool and surface gets its own haptic pattern, so a mop gliding across a clean floor feels different from shoving furniture into place. The adaptive triggers push back when you work a crowbar under old floorboards, then give when the board finally pops loose. The DualSense speaker plays extra tool sounds on top of the TV mix.
“Our main aim was to make using the instruments as enjoyable and responsive as possible,” Smirnov wrote. That’s the right priority for a game where the whole loop is scrubbing, scraping and prying. Audio gets the same attention: every object has its own sound, and the music shifts as a room comes together.
Nine Rooms, Then Game+ Flips Day to Night
The story runs through nine locations, starting in your parents’ home and moving through an artist’s workshop and an old café, according to the Steam listing. Each one carries a resident’s story told through the objects you dig out of drawers and closets.
Finish the story and two extra modes open up. Game+ revisits rooms you already restored with different furniture sets (and different occupants), plus a day and night toggle that can make a familiar space look new. Sandbox mode hands you every item in the game and lets you swap wallpaper, paint color, window shapes, support beams and even light switches. On PC those arrived in Update 1.1 (Game+, May 1) and Update 1.2 (Sandbox, June 18). On console, both are there from the start.
Accessibility options include tool movement speed, camera inversion and color display settings. If you like checking those before you buy, the Accessible Games Initiative tags are making that kind of list easier to find across stores.
PC Still Has Three Extra Hideaways Rooms
Here’s the catch for console players. On September 14, Come On Studio released Hozy: Hideaways, a free PC expansion with three new locations (Chic Condo, Greenhouse and Tech Studio), new residents, new music and extra Sandbox furniture. tinyBuild’s console announcement covers the nine story rooms, Game+ and Sandbox, and does not mention Hideaways. Until tinyBuild says otherwise, the PC version has the most rooms to renovate.
tinyBuild also says seasonal events and more DLC, both free and paid, are planned. No dates or prices for those yet.
Play Anywhere on Xbox, $14.99 on Steam
On Xbox, Hozy is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, so one Microsoft Store purchase covers Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. It’s rated E for Everyone. Neither the PlayStation Store nor the Microsoft Store showed a console price as of Sunday morning, November 8.
PC is $14.99 on Steam. Hozy isn’t sold on GOG, our first stop for owned PC copies, so Steam is the PC store for now. The Steam page lists a minimum spec only:
| Field | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Not published |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD FX-8350 | Not published |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | Not published |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 560 | Not published |
| DirectX | Version 11 | Not published |
| Storage | 5 GB | Not published |
The score is by Yann Van Der Cruyssen, who also composed for Stray, so the headphones advice in tinyBuild’s post isn’t just marketing. If the DualSense tricks land, the PS5 copy is the one to own. If you want every room, start on PC.
