Hozy launches on PlayStation 5 today, 9 November 2026, turning cleaning, renovation and interior design into a deliberately pressure-free game.

No timers, scores or penalties

Each of Hozy’s nine story levels presents a neglected space with its own atmosphere. Players clean and renovate the room, then furnish it from a curated collection of objects. There are no timers or scores—the goal is simply to enjoy the tactile process of making a place feel welcoming again.

Tools include mops, paint equipment and crowbars, while interactive objects add small environmental details. Players can open windows, switch on lamps, play a piano and search furniture for hidden messages.

How Hozy uses the DualSense controller

Developer tinyBuild says the PlayStation 5 version uses haptic feedback to distinguish different surfaces and actions. Adaptive triggers add resistance when lifting floorboards, while the controller speaker provides extra tool sounds.

The game’s soundtrack also changes dynamically as a room progresses from untidy shell to finished space. Eleven languages and a range of visual and control options are included.

Game+ and Sandbox modes

Finishing the main storyline unlocks new versions of previously restored rooms through Game+. Players can switch between day and night and experiment with alternative furniture sets.

Sandbox mode removes the curated limits and opens the full item catalogue, allowing rooms to be duplicated and customised with different wallpaper, colours, windows, structural details and lighting.

Hozy arrives on PS5 on 9 November and is also listed for Xbox through Xbox Play Anywhere. As always, UK players should check the platform store for the confirmed local price and any launch discount.
