The sun-filled days of summer are almost here. Bring on the BBQs, pool days, and summer vacays.
But these days are also long — leaving lots of “I’m bored” moments to fill.
When you need a break from the great (but buggy) outdoors, Nex Playground has you covered. Here are the 6 new games coming to Play Pass this season.
Cookie Monster is bringing early math learning to Playground. Soon, your preschool and elementary kids can practice important math skills, like sorting and pattern recognition, in a brand new way.
Heads up — this game is best experienced with your child. While other preschool titles are more free-play focused, Cookie Monster’s Cookie Factory brings strategy and problem-solving into the Sesame Street mix. Work with your child to tackle the puzzling challenges, watching them actively learn and grow along the way.
Play Pass welcomes Cookie Monster’s Cookie Factory to the Sesame Street crew in early July.
Sports fans rejoice — baseball is coming to Playground. Homerun Heroes: Starstrikers will combine family-friendly anime-style characters with classic batting gameplay.
Step up to the plate and hit those pitches out of the park to unlock new character costumes and bats. Test your skills solo, or grab some friends for 1v1 and 2v2 play. It’s a great way to bring this classic summer sport indoors.
Batter up! Homerun Heroes: Starstrikers will join the Play Pass team mid-July.
Turn your living room workouts into a high-energy dance party with Zumba. Learn the steps, master the moves, and rack up points, getting fit as you move & groove.
It’s everything you love about Zumba — exciting choreography, hyped instructors, and hard-hitting beats — now with a gamified twist. And with 2 player mode, you can enjoy it all with a friend.
Let go of your inhibitions and step into happy this summer with Zumba on Playground, available only with Play Pass.

Looking to bring a little calm to your day? Then you’re going to love Mingle, a relaxing match & merge experience.
