Grab some tea 🍵 or hot chocolate 🍫 a fuzzy blanket, and light a nice candle. 🕯 Most of these games are fully released while a few are not.
Pretty sure this is the #1 cozy game there is! I recommend downloading the stardew expanded and riverside mod for PC players.
Stardew Valley
Even though it's not fully released, I play this just as much as Stardew. They are tied. Also, there is a Dragon Zaddy to romance 🐉 💅
Fields of Mistria: Home
Even though Stardew is considered the #1 cozy game, Coral Island is MY #1 cozy game. Like, I'm shocked my home life hasn't fallen apart because I spend many days pretending I'm a mermaid. Oh, and there is a Fish Zaddy but he's mine 💅. 🧜♂️ 🪸
Coral Island on Steam
To be fair, this could also fall under horror games because of the horrendous mods that I use. I recommend the murder and drama mod by Sacrifical if you want absolute unhinged chaos.

STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar | Official Site
Just hear me out. I classify the FIRST game as horror. This one I consider cozy (to me!). It's much more relaxed! The visuals are stunning. You can pet baby snow cubs. And you can kidnap baby penguins. I consider that cozy.
Save 50% on Subnautica: Below Zero on Steam
One of my favorite cozy farming games! It includes a family system and a large pool of marriage candidates! You can date as many people with no jealousy system, but only marry one. My favorite thing about Sun Haven that makes it different from other ...
Sun Haven on Steam
I loved both of these as a youngster and had them for my Nintendo DS. So nostalgic. Highly recommend for kiddos who might not be ready for the realistic sims games like the Sims 4.
MySims™: Cozy Bundle for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site
This game has a slow start and is funner with friends. But it's great for long car rides, plane rides, break time at work or school, or to just relax your mind. The online community for this game makes it so much better. There are great, interactive ...
Animal Crossing™: New Horizons
Super cute. Super fun. Super relaxing adventure. Love the art.
Hollow Knight
A great partner game. It has a sweet, meaningful story. However, it requires good communication skills between both players.
It Takes Two
A hidden gem. 💎 You play as a female journalist who is trying to solve a town murder. You gain powers to turn into a cat and a dog and both are super fun to play as! My daughter loves watching me play it. Its a great story with detailed side quests....
The Good Life on Steam
You'll see this game all over YouTube. It's truly the coziest that a cozy game can get. Put on some vibing music and it's a peaceful time.

Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection
One of my favorite, most beautiful Zelda games. However, I play it on Switch 1 and not 2. Looks the same to me.
The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch™ 2 Edition
Recently discovered this beautiful game from a cozy gaming group I'm in. It holds up to expectations. I love hoarding pets (in game not real-life), but I do wish there was romance in this game.
Luma Island on Steam
The coziest spooky game out there! It's just as the title says.
Graveyard Keeper on Steam
Play detective while visiting your papa for the summer in an open rpg town. This does have a set MC (Emily) and not a custom character.
