Overview
- A free Hideaways DLC went live on PC this week, adding three new locations called Chic Condo, Tech Studio and Greenhouse that unlock after the main game's tutorial.
- Hideaways introduces specific mechanics such as mowing lawns and removing old rugs, a new connecting hub area, fresh music by Yann van der Cruyssen, and new furniture and décor items.
- All new Hideaways items are carried into Hozy’s Sandbox Mode so players can mix, match and reuse the pieces when designing custom rooms.
- Publisher tinyBuild and developer Come On Studio/Games announced that Hozy will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch in 2026, but they did not give specific launch dates or say whether Hideaways will be included at console launch.
- Hozy’s slow, low-pressure design with no timers or scores emphasizes relaxed, tactile interactions and the DLC rollout underscores growing demand for cozy, creative indie games and could raise player interest before the wider console launch.
