About

Hi, I’m Ellie! A cosy gamer in my forties who grew up with the SNES, PlayStation, and Nintendo consoles, and found my way back to gaming in a big way after turning 40. These days I play on the Switch, Steam Deck, and PC, and I’m most at home with games that are calm, cosy, and easy to sink into.

I started Cosy Gaming Over 40 because cosy gaming has become a huge part of my life, and I wanted a place to share recommendations, simple setups that make gaming feel relaxing, and honest thoughts on what it’s like to be a gamer over 40.

Gaming isn’t just for teenagers; the average gamer is now 41, and almost half of all players are women. There’s space for all of us here.

What you’ll find:

  • Cosy game recommendations
  • Desk setup ideas and everyday rituals
  • Thoughts on gaming life over 40
  • A friendly, welcoming community

If that sounds like your kind of place, I’d love you to join the newsletter for updates and new cosy finds.
