The ULTIMATE Cozy Game Guide for 2025 ✨(50 NEW Games) ✨

[@PaytonsCorner]

Which game are YOU most looking forward to? 💭

[@celestinelocsin]

maybe sticky business, cinnabunny

[@maglomanic-mama]

Fantasy Life and the Hello Kitty game are the highest on my list. But that Squeekross game actually caught my attention. I love picross games that have more to them. Floatopia also looks really cool out of the floating island games. I hope it's as awesome as it looks.

[@mayuilol1427]

Thank you for your video ! The one I'm most looking forward to is Coffee Talk Tokyo. But I'm also interested in Wish Upon a Lama, Afterlove EP which seems to be emotionally interesting and Whisper of the House for the Unpacking vibe.

[@xiaotoumings628]

Absolutely can't wait for Tiny Bookshop and Discounty! Also have my eye on Two Point Museum, but before that, Museum No. 9 (maybe you could cover it when it's out, its unfortunately slightly delayed)!!!

[@monetmckenzie]

It's funny how so many trends in games seem to happen at the same time. Like a year or two ago all these developers had the idea to make farms in the sky 😅

[@RescuePets]

40:32 Thank you for the shoutout! A Corgi's Cozy Hike is coming together pretty well. We're excited to finally launch this year and start our fundraiser to help dogs (10% of our revenue will be donated). It's been a lot of learning and growth as new devs, but we think we're making a relaxing and heartwarming adventure. We've got big announcements coming soon, so I hope everyone stays tuned :) If anyone comes to PAX East or West, be sure to find us. We'll have lots of adorable corgi goodies. Thanks again, Payton

[@acedemi5229]

I can't wait for Paralives! The Sims really needs competition!

[@Kxdmia]

Yess I got excited about that one too!

[@squarestar326]

Didnt a game named inZOI just come out this year tho?

[@justsophia22]

Tiny Book Shop is such a vibe and I absolutely cannot wait for it to release! 📚💜 and fingers crossed for Tales of the Shire to hit the notes us LOTR fans are hoping for 💕

[@mr.duck1246]

I’ve had Apple Arcade for a while and so I’ve been playing hello Kitty island adventure since it came out and my favourite part is the main quest line! It’s super extensive and you can just keep doing more and more stuff. There’s also some secret surprise characters that show up that got me so excited so I won’t spoil them. But if you like Sanrio characters, you’re gonna love all the cameos haha

[@ScaerieTale]

As someone who still dips into Lord of the Rings Online for some roleplay in the Shire, I've always felt the setting is *perfect* for a cozy game, so I am crazy excited for Tales of the Shire 💖

[@lauramurawski2688]

I can't believe I sat here and watched every single recommendation! I just found your channel and I'm so impressed with your game descriptions & editing for this video!! LOVE that you include videos of actual gameplay too!! Subscribed

[@lucazzz1247]

I find it wonderful that „date everything“ comes out on valentines day 😂🎉

[@kiwi310343]

I was waiting for you to make a video like this and here she is, yay! 😍 Thank you for all of your time and work on this 😍

[@realdevfrog]

So many cozy games to look forward to !! Great vid and guide :D

[@no_dur]

The amount of games I wrote down to get was insane!!!! Thanks for all the work you put into this!! 🥰

[@Simutales]

I dream of seeing my own game in a cozy list like this one someday! 💗

[@pookawoods8442]

Loved this line up! Thanks for making it. My favorites are honestly pixil farming / foraging Sims. Potion Permit, Stardew Valley, and Littlewood are my favorite games.

[@missmikad0]

I LOVE your cozy game guide!!! Thank you for the great overview ♡

[@PrateekJadhwani]

OMG!! thank you so much for covering Bao Bao's Cozy Laundromat. I just launched the demo as well.

[@stephanie7679]

I am really looking forward to Tiny Bookshop and Disounty. I also played a demo for Winter Burrow last week and loved it - I can't wait for that one now, too.

[@KanityOnePieceChill]

38:00 yay Rooster is my year I'll wait for this game 😂

[@Ash3mb3r]

Thank you! So much info! Adding a bunch of stuff to my wishlist now. And I agree Pokémon can be cozy. It really depends on how you play it. You can do the hard core ev training stuff or you can fill your team with the cutest Pokémon and run around collecting more 🥰

[@keithcass257]

I always level them up 10 levels per gym. There’s no challenge so it’s super cozy 😅

[@TehCookieNinja]

Ty for this list. Always appreciate your honesty Payton :).

[@LochVaness]

I will be eating well this year for cozy games!! Thank you for putting them all together for us 💜💜adds all to wishlist

[@rpederse]

Thank you for all your work on this.

[@UmatsuObossa]

I definitely am excited for more farming sims. Some people get sick of forming, but I don't.

[@enrapturingfantasy]

i appreciate the timestamps!!!💜

[@spiritofthefaerie]

This sounds like it's going to be a good year for gaming!

[@youtubeuser8241]

Girl. You look stunning! I need them makeup tips!

[@keithcass257]

Absolutely love your intro, made me immediately think of how gamerx gives out no information anymore

[@DropPopCasey313]

Thank you so much for this video, this is going to be a huge year for cozy games and I'm really excited! Also, on the topic of pokemon, I highly reccommend channel, both pokepark games, and magikarp jump; all of them are absolutely adorably cozy and seriously underrated even within the pokemon fandom.

[@jennabishop1600]

Love that sweater!

[@valentinaramos1416]

COFFEE TALK TOKYO??? I'M SO EXCITED

[@marissabavaro4399]

Bought dreaming isles immediately lol, it looks like exactly what I’m into

[@RavenMelonai]

I'm excited for so many of these games. I hope there's a cozy bundle on humble or something!

[@elsielinstrom]

Of all the "farming in the sky" games Floatopia and Sally have me most excited🤩

[@msemma4316]

The character designs in Puff Pals sort of give me Chill Town vibes….. 😅

[@squarestar326]

No news about to pixelia , moonlight peaks and hytale? (Maybe i missed em tho) Awesome list btw !❤❤❤ and i live that we know the system the games are on.

[@LanaBlomquist]

The one thing I think would really make floatopia the perfect game for me personally is if it had some type of combat in it. I see that there might be some pvp you could do with your friends and stuff but I haven’t seen any combat which for me is kinda alarming!

[@imjayhime]

Girl, you need to work on your Japanese pronunciations (and watch LOTR) 😅😭 the games I’ve been looking forward to the most are PuffPals

[@sugarx6687]

i can t wait for FLOATOPIA to be released

[@Dezari5]

I wrote quite a few recs down. Idk why I seem to be gravitating toward the floating island games but all of them looking beautiful. I've been waiting for date everything for a long while though. 😂 And the LOTR shire one.

[@PrettyGreenMaiden]

Great comprehensive video! Thank you for showing the (tentative) release dates and systems. I'm looking forward to Fantasy Life and Pokemon the most. I don't have Steam, but if I did then PuffPals and Floatopia would also be on the list. I would move Fantasy Life to the Life Sim category instead of farming. It's more like Zelda with Animal Crossing aesthetic. So action fantasy RPG, with an open world flexibility and extensive customization. Living all of the lives isn't even necessary to play the game through. My favorite category, I would say, is a cozy rpg then life sim, with exploration. Despite its flaws, I loved Pokemon Violet not just because of the story arcs, but also the "here, go explore but come back whenever you get bored" approach. Some action with a cozy scenic route. Looks like a lot of great games coming out. I've heard about a Xenoblade game coming to the switch. I've never played Xenoblade but it kinda speaks to me. Don't know if I would call it cozy though.

[@debbiescrafts76]

I’m looking forward to hello kitty but I will have to wait and see reviews on how it plays on steam deck. If it doesn’t play well I will get it on switch

[@celestinelocsin]

thanks

[@squarestar326]

I have a question for pc gamers (i m saving up for a gaming laptop so i m just on nintendo systems rn) but are the games available on steam also available on microsoft game pass? Thanks.

[@Jacbean10]

As usual you have given me way to many for my wishlist! 😂 only bad part.. I can’t find Floatopia or Puffpals anywhere on steam. Anyone else having issues??? Also: I’m dying for Tiny bookshop!!

[@PaytonsCorner]

@@Jacbean10 neither games have steam pages yet!

[@originofmrlee]

I had to stop watching this half way through to go and watch the SWITCH 2 ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER!!!

[@patriciagoss1809]

Do we have any estimation as to when GoGo town gets a physical release? I haven't seen anything about it myself.

[@PaytonsCorner]

I know it’s still in early access! I’m not sure when they are planning their full release!

[@Pioneergaming23]

I have a switch but was wondering if any of these games were available on PlayStation?

[@PaytonsCorner]

@@Pioneergaming23 i have included the platforms for every game in the video, there’s a graphic that pops up every time I move to a new game trailer . There’s quite a few play station!

[@Pioneergaming23]

@ Thank you so much! I really enjoy watching your videos they are so relaxing and fun to watch. Happy Gaming :D

[@undestifined]

Inzoi is another sims competitor coming out in 2025 along with paralives! it's more of a realistic life sim.

[@NanaTee4770]

What's up with all the pixelated games?

[@UmatsuObossa]

Rune Factory is a fantastic series. Not sure why cozy gamers have been ignoring it.

[@petros-v4w]

I really cannot understand why a lot of cozy games are not been released physically

[@lizzychurro7701]

Everybody wake up, Payton posted a video!

[@jbingbong]

A big red flag to me is character design. With so many early-access games coming out that have burned us lately (specifically the money-grabs,) I've noticed that typically the character designs are half-baked, don't look right, or just seem forgotten about. Floatopia has ADORABLE character design that looks EXTREMELY polished. It's being published by NetEase, the Chinese company that put out Marvel Rivals. They specialize in online multiplayer, so there's a decent chance Floatopia may end up being REALLY good, but I'm worried about microtransactions. I'm keeping a close eye out for it though! I love the idea and once again, when I see solid character design, I get more excited.

[@BFDreaming]

Eh, I really doubt they'll suddenly make Fantasy Life be for the next gen console when they've been developing it for the Switch for so long. It would be extra work for a game that's already been delayed a lot.

[@jesussaves3346]

Looking forward to sugardew island on steam I have stardew valley on switch I think sugardew will be much better!

[@ChristopherWesley-pc8qy]

Take a shot every time she says cozy

[@PaytonsCorner]

@@ChristopherWesley-pc8qy dude that’d be so dangerous

[@Anna-i7v7y]

For a different game maybe you can play it should be Hogwart's Lecgacy it's very good because you can date everyone you can totally customise yourself and you are you can pick whether you are a witch or a wizard in it it's also fully voice acted as well totally different from your your usual witch game which in this game because you are starting out as a fifth year not first year and because of had you been first year you can't date anyone but because I'm a fifth year you can date anyone

[@spacechimp5141]

DREAMING ISLES still feels unfinished.

[@redleafcrossing]

Dreaming isles looks so good I’m excited you really knocked it outta the park with this video amazing work Payton 💙🦥
