Cozy & Relaxing Games — FAQ
What are the best cozy games for beginners?
Start with Stardew Valley for farming, Unpacking for short tidy-up sessions, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons if you love decorating.
What’s the difference between “cozy” and “relaxing” games?

Are there cozy games with co-op or multiplayer?
Yes. Check the Cozy Co-Op section—games like PowerWash Simulator 2 and Stardew Valley are perfect for chill sessions with friends.
Do cozy games run well on older hardware?
Most do. Many picks are lightweight on PC and run great on Switch; mobile cozy games also play well on mid-range phones. Our reviews note performance and best comfort settings where it matters.
