Leaves are turning and the weather is cooling, but Nex Playground is just heating up. While you’re finding your back-to-school groove, we’re making sure you and your family have ways to stay moving during those rare moments of downtime.
Looking for a fun way to keep your kids active at home as you start prepping for the holiday madness? Turn on Playground, grab a Play Pass, and get ready for a fresh lineup of new games.
From October through December, we’re releasing 5 brand-new motion games to keep you and your family playing through the holiday season.
For real life??? Yep—Bluey and her family are coming to Playground in October!
This has been one of the most requested titles from the Playground community, and for good reason: Bluey is all about nurturing a child’s active imagination.
This new Play Pass-exclusive game combines Bluey-style pretend play with active gaming, sparking your child’s creativity as they work out their wiggles.
Enjoy 5 mini-games (like Keepy Uppy and Musical Statues) at launch, with more coming soon. While this game was made with preschoolers in mind, it also includes some bonus fun for the parents. Even older kids who love Bluey can enjoy dancing to their favorite tunes from the show or battling younger siblings in squash.
Waiting is trifficult, but we're excited to bring all the joy of Bluey to Playground this Fall.
Looking for something to get your older kiddos and teens moving? This upcoming NHL game is set to hit the ice in October.
Take rebounds and hit targets to build your score. You can choose to work on your skills in practice mode or play a match to climb the leaderboards.
Do you follow the NHL? Check out League Play to support your favorite team. You can even collect digital trading cards as you gain experience and improve your skills. You can get after it with Play Pass early this Fall.
Virtual pet lovers, we’ve got one coming for you! In November, you and your kids can experience the fun of a puppy (without all the mess) in NexPets: Puppies.
In this game, players choose their puppy (either a Labrador or French Bulldog at launch) and care for it as it grows. Name your cutie, then keep it happy by bathing, feeding, and playing with it. It’s the virtual pet game you and your family have been missing (even if you haven’t thought about your old one in years 😜).
Looking for something a little more fantastical? Join a universe where friendship reins in the new Unicorn Academy game, coming later this year to Playground with Play Pass.
In this immersive, open-world game, players ride colorful unicorns as they explore and adventure around Unicorn Island. Whether your kids are already a fan of the show or they just love beautiful, rainbow-filled worlds, Unicorn Academy is sure to bring home the magic.
Are you missing the whimsy and charm of Tiny Chef? Don’t worry—he’s bringing his signature cozy cooking style to Playground.
Launching late 2025, everyone’s favorite little green chef is cooking up his favorite vegetarian dishes in a brand-new, active experience. More details will be announced later this year.
It’s not all new games. Some of your favorites are also getting fresh Fall updates.
Our Halloween event starts mid-October and will include slightly spooky, family-friendly updates to Starri, Mirrorama, Copy Cat Deluxe, and BowlingStrike!.
Zumba: Fitness Party is adding more songs to keep your workout fresh and fun.
