The 25 English-language YouTube channels with the most views on cozy game videos in the 12 months to October 20, 2026, from Streamforge’s creator data.
The list
Cozy games are slow and kind: farming, decorating, raising animals, making friends with a town. Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, The Sims and Disney Dreamlight Valley lead the genre, and the creators who play them make calm videos people put on to relax.
These are the English-language YouTube channels that put the most cozy game videos in front of people in the last 12 months. At least half of each channel’s videos in that time were cozy games.

United StatesEnglish-language YouTube channels run by a person, not by a brand, a group or a fan page. Channels YouTube marks as made for kids are left out. Each one uploaded at least eight long-form videos in the 12 months to October 20, 2026, and at least one in the 60 days before that date.
At least 50% of each channel’s long-form videos in those 12 months were cozy game videos, and at least 6 of them. That keeps the list to channels built on the topic, not variety channels that tried it once.
Every channel was then checked against its 15 most recent video titles. Channels that mostly post something else now, or that read as a brand, news, fan or compilation channel, were left out.
Each creator gets one place. Where a creator runs more than one qualifying channel, the list ranks the channel with the most views on cozy game videos and links the others under Channels.
By views on cozy game videos in the 12 months from October 20, 2025 to October 20, 2026: the views on the long-form videos each channel posted in that time, counting only cozy game videos. Shorts and live streams are not counted.
We rank by views, not subscribers, because subscribers count everyone who ever followed a channel. Views show who is being watched now. Subscribers are still shown for every channel.
A video counts when Streamforge matches it to one of these games:
Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Disney Dreamlight Valley, The Sims 4, Coral Island, Fae Farm, My Time at Sandrock, Spiritfarer, Palia, Fields of Mistria, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, Sun Haven, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Tiny Glade, Wylde Flowers, Dinkum, Slime Rancher 2, Slime Rancher, Cozy Grove, Unpacking, Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator, Little Kitty, Big City, Paleo Pines, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, Moonstone Island, Lightyear Frontier, Infinity Nikki, Dorfromantik and Potion Permit.
Subscribers is the count YouTube showed at our last check. Cozy game views are the views the list ranks by, over the 12 months. Plays most names the games the channel made the most long-form videos about in that time.
Audience is Streamforge’s AI estimate of who watches: the larger side of the split between women and men, and the largest age group. It does not need the creator to connect an account, and Streamforge has benchmarked the technique against the platforms’ own audience data. It is an estimate, not the channel’s YouTube analytics.
Channels links the creator’s other YouTube channels and profiles on other platforms, as Streamforge links them. The one-line notes are written from each channel’s recent video titles.
