The cozy games launching in April are almost unanimously chilled out. It’s really feeling like groundhog day around here because somehow the extra six weeks of winter aren’t over. I’ve dragged PC Gamer’s cozy gaming collective out of their burrows to curate the cozy games of April calendar and tell you a little about what they’re planning to play. Spoiler alert: no farm/life sims to be found. So just shhhh put your cable knit sweater back on and play a game with no fail state, little critters.
April cozy game forecast: ❄️ Chill warning
There’s nary a farm sim in sight this month! The cozy game calendar for April feels like it really expects you to stay tucked under the blankets for one more month of rot time before the spring rush begins. We’ve got multiple hidden object games, multiple diorama builders, and emotional adventure games. The cozy games of this month are going to really let us play at our own pace—no rushing to get in bed or do chores before 2am, not this time!
Most anticipated
Outbound | April 23As of the start of the month, co-op off-the-grid base-builder Outbound has reached #16 on Steam’s most wishlisted list, which means there’s a good chance you’ll see this one flying around on social media or in your group chats if you’re co-op inclined.
