Cozy games have quietly taken over gaming culture, but why do they feel so different?

In this episode of The Digital Respawn, we’re diving into the rise of cozy gaming and why so many players are choosing slower, softer experiences over high-pressure competition. From emotional safe spaces to digital routines that feel like home, cozy games are changing how we connect with games, and with ourselves.

We also explore how gaming habits have shifted, why burnout plays a bigger role than we think, and how cozy games create a unique kind of community built on presence instead of performance.
