21 Surprisingly Cozy and Free Games on Steam

Are you tired of searching for good free games on Steam? Well, you’re in the right place.

21 Cozy Free Games on Steam that won’t make you go broke!

Do you ever feel like you’re spending way too much money on entertainment? Well, I do.

I’ve got so many subscription plans yet no time to watch anything. Sorry Disney+ but you had to go. The same goes for my Nintendo Switch Online Subscription. Why am I paying for that? Please someone explain. Especially as I now play mostly on my PC.

It’s time to ditch the subscriptions and start looking at free-to-play games. Or at the very least games I only need to pay once for. Actually thinking about it, I have so many games I’ve downloaded in the past but not played, and it’s time I did.

So I’ve put together this list of free Steam games for you (and me!) so you can play without feeling guilty this month. Jump to the bottom of the page to watch the video + see a bonus game NOT on this list!

PALIA

Palia is my favourite cozy game right now and I can’t stop recommending it. It’s not without its bugs and glitches which can be infuriating, but overall it has the potential to be something great.

Palia is a world of wonder where humans were once extinct and are now making a comeback. You will need to find out why humans went extinct to begin with all the while making Palia your new home.

Palia is a free-to-play game on Steam and Nintendo Switch. A word of warning though, the graphics on the Switch are subpar in comparison to the PC version. However, if you only ever play it on Switch you wouldn’t notice the difference. I play it mostly on Switch myself.

Sky: Children of the Light - Sky: Light Awaits is a heartwarming and beautifully-animated social adventure experience designed to be played together by you and your loved ones.

Sky: Children of the Light

Sky: Children of the Light is a cozy, open-world adventure soaring above the clouds! Seasoned players affectionately call new players Moths due to their brown capes and they love showing you the ropes. With little to no dialogue or direction you are encouraged to seek a guide (a seasoned player) to take you through the game.

Sky COTL is made by thatgamecompany, yes the same company that made Journey. So you’ll see many resemblances if you played that game long ago like I did – flying shrimps, lots of sand and a stranger for company. But Sky takes the beauty of the buddy system in Journey one step further. You can play Sky on Steam from April 2024.
