The genuine upgrades

A Pro Controller

If you play Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing for hours, the Pro Controller is the single best comfort upgrade. It’s far kinder to your hands than the Joy-Cons over a long session.

A microSD card

Cozy games are small, but they add up fast. A roomy microSD card means you’ll never have to delete a game to install the next one.

A good carrying case

Most cozy gaming happens in handheld mode — on the couch, in bed, on a trip. A padded case keeps your Switch (and a few game cards) safe wherever you unwind.

The comfort extras

• A screen protector — cheap peace of mind for a handheld that lives in your hands.
• An adjustable stand — perfect for tabletop mode or propping the screen up in bed.
• Comfort thumb grips — a tiny, inexpensive tweak that makes the sticks comfier.
• Cozy headphones — for losing yourself in a game’s gentle soundtrack.

Don’t forget the actual cozy part

Accessories are nice, but the coziest “gear” is free: a warm blanket, a hot drink, and a soft lamp. Pair those with a great game from our best cozy games on Switch list and you’re set for the perfect evening.
