Cozy games are absolutely everywhere, and their chill vibes have inspired a whole aesthetic for an audience enamored by games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Palia. This adorable aesthetic may emphasize pastels and earth tones, but it is also defined by a tidy and ergonomic space that still has plenty of personality.

If you’re looking for fun ideas to tie your space together, we’ve collected some of the Polygon staff’s favorite products for bringing these charming vibes to their personal gaming space. Whether you need ergonomic accessories to optimize your workspace, some laid-back accent lighting, or some soft pals to accompany you on your adventures, the Polygon staff has got you covered. Here’s our favorite cozy gaming accessories to bring a little extra warmth to their gaming space.

I love collecting enamel pins, but there are only so many ita bags I can buy to display them. So I turned to corkboards to show them off, and soon after discovered that you can get all sorts of pin boards in very cute colors! It’s a nice way to personalize your gaming space, since you can organize them however you want. Pin boards are less directly cozy, and more so a blank canvas upon which you can design your own cozy space.

If your plush friends are a little too big to display on your desk or on a shelf, this net is the perfect solution. This way they can all peek out and smile at you! It also has a lot of blanket-fort vibes, and that’s just an ideal experience.

It is my mission in life to spread the good news of Warmies. These are heatable stuffed animals; pop them in the microwave, and you have a heating pad that is also shaped like a cute animal. They smell so good, and are also weighted. They’re great to just have on your lap while gaming. Use them to warm your hands between clicks during winter months, or just to have a comforting weight on your chest when playing through some anxiety-inducing game moments.

Nothing says cozy like stuffed animals. The
