There are 12 new cozy games out on Steam today and there are quite a few that I’m personally super hyped for.

Whether you want a game that is just collecting achievements, winning big off scratchers, or even cleaning cartoony, not gross, ear junk from customers, then this has you covered and more!

We do our best not to highlight games that use Generative AI at any level of development or marketing. At the time of posting, these games have not reported or disclosed using Gen AI. Likewise, all articles are written and edited by humans… as evidenced by our occasional errors.

Scritchy Scratchy - cozy game

Scritchy Scratch

Scritchy Scratch is an incremental game where you play with scratch cards. Buy stacks of them and try your luck. With earnings, you’ll eventually be able to get an auto-scratcher that will help expand your operation. Each scratcher has unique quirks and surprises, so things will stay interesting. If you hit a wall, hit that prestige button and start over with added perks.

A Game About Achieving Stuff is a collectahon walking simulator. Forget gameplay and cut straight to the good stuff: collecting achievements! Explore corridors, hoard loot, and do everything you can to make 200 in-game achievements pop up. And, while you’re at it, you can collect 100 Steam achievements as well!
