Finally, I can talk about all the best cozy games releasing in 2025. It feels like it’s been forever since I had the time to sit down and play a new video game. Working a full-time retail job and running my blog kinda takes up all my time these days *sigh*.

I tried playing Hogwarts Legacy but I got bored with all the fetch quests. Seriously, the only thing Iโve been playing lately is the mobile game Snake.io during my lunch breaks at work.
So it’s definitely time for a new game.
I know there’s some amazing games coming out this year that I won’t be able to put down! Games with cute animals, farming and cozy corners.
Honestly, management sims are my go-to quite frankly. If I get to be in control of a little town or manage a quaint shop then I’m sold. I just love business management. Does that make me dull?
Anyway, I won’t hold off any longer. Let’s take a look at my 10 most anticipated cozy games releasing this year.

Youโve cured lightheadedness in Two Point Hospital. Taught students how to ace their class in Two Point Campus. Now it’s time to curate your own museum exhibits in Two Point Museum.
There are 5 different museum types to play and they’re introducing kids to the roster of guests youโll need to manage. I can’t wait for this game!
Two Point Campus was a top tier management game for me, so much so Iโm on my 3rd play through of it. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next installment of the franchise.
Two Point Museum releases 4th of March.

But if museums are a bit stuffy for you why not head on down to your local tavern for a brew instead.
Tavern Keeper is a charming fantasy business SIM with the coziest of pubs. Hire new staff, meet adventurers and be your own boss.
I think that’s the main reason I love management Sims so much. I just want to run my businesses my way.
Itโs like the Devs watched Tangled and decided they were gonna make a game based on the Snuggly Duckling pub. And if I get to name my tavern that’s exactly what I’m going to call it!
Tavern Keeper doesn’t have an official release date yet but Iโll keep you posted.

Manage your own discount supermarket! Get caught up in small-town drama, organize and plan your shop’s layout, and strike lucrative trade deals as you expand your secretive aunt’s business empire. Selling more frozen fries will surely heal this broken communityโฆright?

Hello Kitty Adventure Island is finally coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam this month after it was so popular on mobile. And would you believe it was my husband who said I had to buy this game on release!
Hello Kitty Adventure Island is like Animal Crossing with the kawaii factor dialled up to 100!
Embark on a cozy, open-world adventure with Hello Kitty and Friends. Befriend beloved characters as you explore and restore a mysterious island, solve ancient puzzles, cook delicious dishes, customize yourself and your cabins, and so much more.

Now turn back the clocks to 2022 when your girl was a fresh blogger learning how to write game reviews.
Well I found this game called Ages of Cataria on Kickstarter and fell instantly in love, wrote a gushing blog post about it and thenโฆ nothing. I kinda forgot it existed tbh. I’m not one for really following Devs journeys, I just want to know when the game is ready to play.
Well, it’s slated for a Spring release this year.
Ages of Cataria is a village story generator, a colony sim where you Learn your villager’s stories as they grow up and eventually pass away. You get to choose your origin story. Will you pick humans or elves?

You’ve probably heard of Good Pizza Great Pizza. I mean, Iโve played a lot of it on my YouTube channel.
Well the makers at TapBlaze have only gone and made a spin-off, I could cry right now.
In Good Coffee Great Coffee you run your own coffee shop. Prepare delicious drinks, experiment with new flavors, decorate your shop, and manage cafe costs to become the best barista in town!
There’s charming scenery, relaxing BGM, and ASMR sounds to compliment your coffee-making experience! Customizable and collectible cozy coffee shop decorations and more!
You can pick this up on mobile next month. I’m going to be playing this so much in my lunch breaks. Oh and it’s free-to-play!

Bits & Bops is a departure from my usual collection of game recs but I played the demo for this over 2 years ago and I couldn’t put it down.
Bits & Bobs is a collection of original rhythm mini-games! Filled with catchy music, snappy gameplay and gorgeous, hand-drawn animation You’ll be tapping your feet along too. And it’s out very soon!

Winter Burrow is a cozy woodland survival game about a mouse returning home to restore their childhood burrow. Explore, gather resources, craft, knit warm sweaters, bake pies and meet the locals.
Brave the elements and journey out into the frozen wilderness to collect vital resources for both yourself and your new home. Beware of the insect wildlife and remember that nobody survives on their own; find new friends, expand your survival handbook and solve the mystery of what happened to your Aunt.

Leave everything behind and open a tiny bookshop by the sea in thisย cozy narrative management game.
Stock yourย Tiny Bookshopย with different books and items, set up shop in scenic locations, and run your cozy second-hand bookshop while getting to know the locals.
Decorateย your shop on wheels with theย itemsย you collect. Are you into absolutely plastering it with plants? Maybe a spooky candle-lit atmosphere is more your style? Every item also has an effect on your customers and can introduce new mechanics.
