    Hunker Down for the Winter With These Cozy Games on Xbox

    • Danielle Partis

    While the holiday period is often considered a time for rest and reflection, we know what it’s really about – finally having time to play some excellent video games. And what better match for the season than cozy games – titles built for relaxation, lacking in stress, but just as inventive as their action-oriented cousins. 

    Whether the cold weather has you peeking into a shameful backlog or browsing the Xbox storefront for something new, we’ve got a mighty fine selection of tried and tested titles that are great to cozy on up with – divided into categories to ensure you find the exact right fit for your mood. So, grab yourself a hot drink in your favourite oversized mug, fetch a big ol’ blanket, and dive on in here. 

    Fun on the Farm

    Farming sims are effectively the ancestral home of cozy gaming, offering respite in peaceful worlds where we can grow produce, hangout with friends, and adventure to our heart’s content. Whether you’re looking for a combat-free space or a light challenge to your adventures, we’ve got you covered. 

    Stardew Valley

    Cloud, Console, and PC

    After inhering your grandfather’s old farmland in Stardew Valley, you’ll embark on a journey to transform this overgrown plot into a gorgeous home. Along the way, you’ll level up key skills to improve your farming, fishing and fighting abilities, and unlock new items and recipes to craft and cook. You’ll meet the locals of the town, make friends, and even fall in love. Stardew Valley also recently received the 1.6 update with lots of new content and features, the perfect time for both new and returning farmers to jump in, either alone, or with up to 8 friends via co-op mode. 

    Lightyear Frontier

    Cloud, Console, and PC

    If you’re looking for peaceful farming on a galactic scale, Lightyear Frontier has you covered. An open-world adventure that lets you build the interstellar homestead of your dreams, equipped with your fully customisable mech companion. Explore a mysterious world, discover the planet’s secrets and help the ecosystem in the process. It’s the ultimate cozy simulator for farm and big robot enthusiasts alike, and up to three friends can join in your adventure via the online multiplayer. 

    Coral Island

    Cloud, Console, and PC

    In this vibrant, laid-back take on farming sims, ditch the bustling city life and put together a dreamy tropical paradise on Coral Island. Here, you’ll tend to crops, nurture animals, and become part of a lovely community of over 70 unique characters. The island also offers plenty of exciting outdoor activities such as insect hunting and fishing, as well as diving in the local coral reef to hunt for hidden treasures. Take life as it comes in this relaxing simulator full of charm. 

    Comfy, Cozy Puzzles  

    If the farm life isn’t quite for you, perhaps this selection of lovely puzzle games will sate your interest. We’re not talking brain busters here, just cozy exploration and peaceful, satisfying puzzling that you can take at your own pace, all bundled up in gorgeous art styles. 

    Botany Manor

    Cloud, Console, and PC

    This quaint puzzle game sees places you in the wellington boots of Arabella Greene, a retired botanist on a quest to restore the gardens of her stately home.

    A Little To The Left

    Strange Horticulture

    Cloud, Console

    In this occult-themed puzzle game, you’ll assume the role of the proprietor of a local plant store on the hunt to discover new species of plants. Balancing “calm” and “creepy” in a way very few games can manage, you’ll wield your growing knowledge of flora and fauna to influence Strange Horticulture‘s story, and unravel the dark mysteries surrounding the quaint but spooky town of Undermere. 

    Light-hearted Adventures 

    Perhaps you’re looking for something a little more interactive than a puzzle game but without the pressures of combat or big decisions? A place to explore fun environments, enjoy some light questing, and engage in some action is sometimes necessary to keep your mind occupied. Roam around a big city as a cat or challenge yourself to an atmospheric climb in these easy-going adventures! 

    Lil Gator Game
