It feels like these Black Friday cozy gaming deals were made for me. I’ve put several (hundreds) of hours into the likes ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsas well as dabbled in games such asThe Sims 4, andDisney Dreamlight Valley- but if you’re just getting started on your cozy gaming journey, now is the best time to pick up these titles and more as they’re even cheaper than usual thanks to the annual savings event.
The best deal out of the bunch has to be The Sims 4 Cottage Living expansion which is currently 50% off at Amazon - I’ve only seen a slightly bigger discount once around this time last year. The DLC usually costs fans $40 but it does add a lot of interesting new features to EA’s life sim. For example, you’ll be able to set your Sims up on a farm, raise animals, get cozy new items, and much more. It’s important to note here that the deal on this one is only available for PC players, so if you’re used to playing The Sims 4 onPS5, PS4,Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch - you’re out of luck this time.
The good news, though, is that there’s plenty of other cozy games we’ve found deals for across several of the consoles I’ve just mentioned. With the holidays coming up, now is the perfect time to treat yourself or a loved to some relaxing games. I believe some of the games on this list only get better when played co-op so if you wanted to get more for your money, you should definitely consider picking them up while the deal is on.
And if cozy gaming isn’t your thing, there’s still plenty of other savings to be had on ourBlack Friday gaming dealsandBlack Friday Nintendo Switch dealslists.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
