The gaming world is changing. As the community continues to grow, so does its diversity, and one of the most exciting shifts is the increasing number of women gamers. With this shift comes a unique perspective on how, when, and where gaming happens—and one trend that we think should be emerging is the desire for waterproof portable gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck or Asus Rog, which are sadly, still not waterproof. And this is why we think this will be soon the new trend in the world of cozy games.

Why Does This Matter? The Changing Face of Gaming

The gaming industry has traditionally been seen as a male-dominated space, but that’s no longer the case. Women now make up nearly half of all gamers, and they’re bringing new energy and different preferences to the table. The desire for more inclusive gaming experiences—including the environments in which people feel comfortable playing—is part of this evolution.

Women are redefining what it means to be a gamer, and their influence is pushing for innovations that match their lifestyle. Gaming doesn’t have to be confined to the couch or a desk—it can be a part of daily life, whether that’s in the comfort of the bath, by the pool, or even on an outdoor adventure. The call for a waterproof portable gaming device is just one example of how the industry can adapt to meet the needs of a more diverse gaming community.

A New Era of Gaming Freedom

A waterproof portable gameconsole would symbolize a step forward for the gaming industry—an acknowledgment that gaming is not just a pastime for one type of person, but a diverse and evolving form of entertainment that can fit into all sorts of lifestyles. It would offer more freedom, more fun, and more comfort for everyone, but especially for the growing number of women who are shaping the future of gaming.

Gaming in the Bath: A New Level of Relaxation

Imagine sinking into a warm bath, bubbles rising around you, while you immerse yourself in a beautiful, relaxing game. For many women, the bath has always been a place of self-care and tranquility. Adding a favorite cozy game into that mix could take relaxation to a whole new level. Yet, without a waterproof device, the fear of dropping your beloved Nintendo Switch into the water can be a real worry!

A waterproof portable gaming console would open up new possibilities for those who love to unwind with a game while soaking in the tub. It’s the perfect combination of self-care and gaming, allowing for a truly immersive experience that feels like a much-needed retreat from the world.

So here’s to hoping that one day soon, we’ll see a Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck or Asus Rog that’s ready to join us in the bath, at the pool, or by the lake-because cozy gaming should know no limit when it comes to comfort and snugness.
