While Steam has been a popular distribution service for fast-paced, action-packed games, the platform actually has a sizable number of cozy games for more chill gamers.
Steam is the largest distribution platform for PC games. Housing thousands of games—some free and some not—the platform is a heaven for gamers who are looking for their next gaming obsession. Ever since its release in 2003, Steam has grown tremendously, with popular games such as Elden Ring, God of War, and more helping boost its platform.
But not all games require heavy time investment and adrenaline. Sometimes, you just need a game to help you unwind. And Steam has the perfect selection for you!
