If there’s one thing cozy games love to do, it’s shifting a release date by a couple days or even a month, only a week before launch. I’ve seen more than one try to pull that over on me in March so far. They probably don’t love it, really, but they sure do it a lot and it makes keeping track of each month’s cozy game releases a real juggling act.

To keep you from feeling like a cozy circus clown dropping farm sims on the ground all month, I’ve gotten PC Gamer’s cozy gaming collective together again to track down the most up to date releases—though I make no promises about dates that change after the month begins—and make a pitch for the cozy games we’re personally looking forward to playing the most.

March cozy game forecast: 🌧️💿 Demo downpour

This month begins with the Steam Next Fest, the big event where tons of upcoming games offer free demos ahead of launch. At time of writing, almost every cozy game we want to play in March has a demo available. Next Fest does end right at the beginning of the month on March 2, though. In past Next Fests, some games pull down their demos after the event, but others may leave theirs live until launch day. I’ve marked which games have a demo right now in the release calendar below, but you may find things change over the course of the month!
