There are numerous great video game accessories—flight sticks, steering wheels, VR headsets, and many more. However, for every awesome accessory there are ten that come across as just a little silly. While I could probably fill a book with them, these are some of the most (in)famous examples.
Polygon’s favorite cozy gaming accessories
30.04.2024 - 15:19 / polygon.com
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 problem, however, is how to integrate them neatly into your space. Luckily, The Pokémon Company, already on top of the plushie game with staples like “nearly 5-foot-long Wailord” and “life-size Psyduck,” has accounted for this. The Sitting Cuties line has a huge selection of Pokémon across generations, all in small, desk-sized form. They can rest on your monitor shelf or adorn the space around your keyboard. Personally, I managed to adhere my Zubat one to the wall so he looks like he is mid-flight.
How else are you going to decorate your computer area with plushies? These shelves are adjustable and can hold roughly four smallish plushies each (more if you’re strategic with stacking)!
The Nintendo Switch has become the poster child for cozy

The best cozy games to play right now
“Cozy games” are a huge phenomenon right now, because at the end of the day, who doesn’t like being cozy? While some games focus on visceral combat or thrilling narratives, cozy games often focus on creating a comfortable or fulfilling place for players to hang out. Instead of swinging a sword or slaying foes, players can focus on creating the perfect flower bed, or befriending the kind golem next door.
