30 Best Cozy Games on Xbox Game Pass in 2024
Grab your controller and get comfy, these cozy games on Xbox Game Pass will have you reaching for the snacks this weekend! If you’re subscribed to Xbox Game Pass or thinking about it, I’ve got tons of cozy games brimming with heart-melting stories, simple game mechanics and lush environments for you to savor in 2024.

The 30 BEST Cozy Games on Xbox Game Pass This Year!
Cozy Gaming has become increasingly popular over the past 3 years thanks to games like Unpacking, but coziness is quite subjective. So how do you find the game that’s right for you?
By picking up your controller and playing lots of games until one sticks, that’s how!
That’s what I love about the Xbox Gamepass. I don’t have to waste my hard-earned money buying individual games and hoping I like them. Instead, I can try out hundreds for one flat rate a month.
Though I do get that you might be short on time. Not everyone has hours upon hours to play video games every day. So if it’s short cozy games you’re after read 8 Short and Sweet Cozy Games on Xbox Game Pass first.
The games featured on this list are from the Game Pass Ultimate collection which is a mixture of PC and Console, so not every game may be available on your preferred platform.
Side note
The selection of games offered on Xbox changes regularly. The games on this list were correct at the time of publishing.

Dust off your coffee machine because it’s time to return to Coffee Talk in the second episode of the much-loved coffee brewing and heart-to-heart talking simulator.
Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly follows on from the original game where you, the barista, serve warm drinks to old and new customers. Immerse yourself in this relaxing coffee shop atmosphere by playing those lo-fi chillhop beats while the rain pours down outside.
There is now an addition of a lost and found. Can you find all the storylines by returning items to their correct owners? And don’t forget to mix new ingredients for drinks like Pink Spice and more!

Unpacking is a casual, Zen puzzle game about the familiar experience of pulling possessions out of boxes and fitting them into a new home. Throughout eight house moves, you experience a sense of intimacy with a character you never see and a story you’re never told.
It’s a casual puzzle game that lends itself better played on PC than on console but as it’s free on Game Pass I do recommend giving it a play.

House Flipper
House Flipper is the key to your first home. If you’re an elder millennial like me who’s yet to put a toe, never mind a whole foot on the home ownership ladder, then this renovation sandbox is perfect for you.
A first-person sim where you’re tasked with the job of cleaning, painting, tidying and decorating the homes of local residents. Install new showers, air-con, the works! All so you can one day afford your own home.
House Flipper is a cozy gamer’s dream. You can take your time to obsess over the aesthetics. It’s like The Sims without the potty training. Just you, a hammer, and your imagination.

It Takes Two is a wholesome family game about a soon-to-be-divorced couple, and their daughter, Rose. So upset is Rose by the news of her parents splitting up that she unknowingly transports them into toy dolls.
With the guidance of Dr. Hakim, a therapy book that’s passionate about love, the married pair needs to find their way back to their daughter and their human bodies. And maybe even, to each other.

5
Superliminal
Superliminal is a mind-bending first-person puzzle game that will make you think outside of the box. Originally released in July 2020 this game has grown in popularity but is often overlooked as a cozy game.
My fiance loved Superliminal and he highly recommends it to anyone who enjoys relaxing optical illusions. Take your time to explore as there are collectibles throughout.

6
Tunic
Tunic is an epic adventure about a tiny fox. If you’re looking for a Legend of Zelda-esque game with battles and deep legends Tunic will surprise you.
Not a slow game by any means and probably not cozy to most people, but if you want more of a challenge I highly recommend this stand-out game release from 2022.

7
Little Witch in the Woods
If Little Witch in the Woods was a movie it would be Kiki’s Delivery Service. Actually, I think it’s the same story! Prove me wrong.
Meet Ellie, an apprentice witch who’s moved to a new village to put her new spells into practice. Together with Virgil, her talking hat (very Harry Potter, I know), you’ll cheerfully craft items and be a helpful neighbor.
This pixel sim is a charming game that I know you’ll enjoy snuggled up with a warm beverage when this season turns colder. Autumn is, after all, just around the corner. Set in a fantasy world, explore, gather and brew your way through Little Witch in the Woods.

8
Disneyland Adventure
There’s a place where every little kid’s dream comes true – Disneyland! Disneyland Adventure was released back in 2017 but it’s just as magical today. Fans of Disney can walk around the park and ride 18 popular attractions, engage in 100 challenging quests, and interact with 35 beloved characters.
As a child, my family spent a lot of time at Disney and this one really makes me all nostalgic. Even if you’ve never been you can experience the park right in your living room.
