Nex Playground Rolls Out Its Fall 2025 Game Lineup

• Unicorn Academy – Ride magical unicorns through an immersive open world inspired by the hit series. Explore, complete quests, and relive replayable moments from the show in this expansive, adventure-driven game.

• The Tiny Chef Show – Join the world’s smallest chef in a cozy, whimsical cooking game where adorable and delicious creations come to life on the kitchen counter.

In addition to a handful of licensed titles, Nex Playground is also launching an original, tail-wagging title:

• NexPets: Puppies – Care for a fluffy friend – feeding, bathing, and playing with them using motion controls that make every wag and woof feel real.

“This holiday lineup is our most exciting yet, packed with beloved characters and fresh experiences that connect with families,” said David Lee, CEO of Nex. “Bringing Bluey into Nex Playground is a milestone we’re thrilled to share with our community, and our partnership with the NHL adds a new layer of competitive, athletic, and social fun for sports fans. We’re building Nex Playground into the go-to place where families can laugh, move, and play together.”
