If you've got kids who enjoy watching Bluey (oh, who are you kidding - you watch it, don't you), then listen up. A rating from the Australian Classification Board has revealed the likely existence of Bluey: The Videogame.
As spotted by Vooks, the game is in development at Artax Games and will be published by Outright Games (bizarrely, then, it won't be made in Australia, where the TV show originates). It'll follow the Heeler family as they jet off on a holiday adventure to find a treasure hidden by Bandit and his brothers years prior.
The game will supposedly take place across five iconic locations from the show and will tell a family-friendly story about creating cherished memories with your family. It'll launch on the Nintendo Switch and other major platforms.
There's no word at the moment on a potential release date, but we can't imagine we'll be waiting too long for an official announcement.
Are you up for a Bluey video game? Do you watch the TV show? Let us know in the comment down below.

Whenever I'm babysitting I put Bluey on and won't let the kids change the channel.
Copies will undoubtedly stuff many a stocking come Christmastime.
Can’t wait for the Keepy Uppy minigame!
"The game is in development at Artax Games and will be published by Outright Games"
Another games by Outright Games ?! 😯
you know what, nice. this show is an absolute treat and although i probably wont be playing it, im all about it for those who are
As a 31 year old (F) with no children I unironically enjoy watching Bluey, I even have a Bingo plushie xD
Shame licenced games are almost always terrible.
@Nintendencies
Depend on the developer, licensed games can be good enough to play.
@Anti-Matter
Well maybe the team will want to take care of the IP and churn a good game out of it. For adult fans though these games are usually short, simple and not worth picking up. I know we aren't the target audience, but still.
@Nintendencies
But I am the target audiences for kids licensed games.
I have no problem with short games as long they are playable and no crashing.
Btw, I have three Paw Patrol games, My Little Pony, Race with Ryan, Transformers Battlegrounds on PS4.
Those games are by Outright Games.
Already looking forward to the pun-heavy review, I'm in.
I imagined the Bluey game by Outright Games will be similar as Peppa Pig style, HD 2D game.
A Bluey video game? Wackadoo!
Published by Outright Games? Biscuits!
Maybe it’ll be tolerable for a small child, but I’m not getting my hopes up for anything more than that.
For real life?!
I’ve found that the licensed stuff by outright games tends to be bug ridden bargain bin filler. I mean this could be different but I don’t have high hopes.
Brilliant show. But licensed games for children are never good, not for adults, not for children.
@Sinton
I don't think so.
It depends on the developer, the licensed games can be good by the right developer.
I think I will be fit for Bluey the video game and I am literally 38 years old.
I keep my eyes on upcoming kids games by Outright Games.
@Deemo37
It depends who is the developer.
There are quite a lot of good games by Outright Games with the right developers.
But it doesn't mean the games by not quite right developers are really bad.
I experienced zero case of buggy or crashing from the games by Outright Games since I played them on PS4.
This game will suck so hard, but the show is great.
@Goofonzo
I don't think the game will be suck before we see the actual gameplay.
I think Bluey will have similar gameplay as Peppa Pig before.
@Anti-Matter : I'll spare you the indignity of pointing out your demographical traits, but you do not understand what "target audience" means.
The target audience for games like these are prepubescent children.
While people outside of that demographic can certainly buy/play these games, they would not comprise the majority of players/sales.
@Sisilly_G
I mean who cares?
Just because the games aimed for kids it doesn't mean I am an adult man is not allowed to play kids games.
Even I played Hi Hamtaro Ham Ham Challenge on NDS, the game that targeted for preschool kids.

@Goofonzo
In my defense, I don't think every games by Outright Games are suck because I played their games on PS4, having no issue at all.
Suck what?
I mean those are kids games, I enjoy their simple games.
As charming as the show is I don’t think this is going to buck the Outright shovelware trend.
@PepperMintRex
I can assure you the game will be not suck.
The games by Outright Games are not shovelwares.
Btw, I can see everybody will keep spouting negativity on the games by Outright Games.
In my defense, their games are not shovelwares.
Just because the games are simple to play and not zelda like games, it doesn't mean the games are suck.
Also, we haven't see the actual trailer of Bluey the video game.
I'm very sure the gameplay of Bluey will be similar as Peppa Pig and if I enjoy kind of this game over than zelda games, it doesn't mean I like bad quality games.
I have different gaming taste.
I don't, mostly because I keep forgetting I have Disney+, but I've heard it is pretty good to watch even for adults and actually tackles real issues in such a way that doesn't feel patronizing or out of touch.
Bluey is the GOAT
I've seen enough of it babysitting my nephew to know lol I think I might get as much out of it as he does tbh lol
Its incredibly wholesome and just as much as a parent's show as it is a kid's show.
This news unironically makes me happy. Bluey is a great show, even if I'm not the target audience.
My sister's kids love Bluey (and so do I honestly), so they'd like this.
The publisher, Outright, is a mixed bag. My Friend Peppa Pig is the most garbage game I ever bought. It's about a 2:1 ratio of playtime to loading time – which is completely unacceptable. Yet, their Paw Patrol game is incredibly polished and my child loves it. I guess we'll need to wait and see with this one.
I am all over this. The kids and I love watching the show together. This will be a lot of fun.
Bluey is one of the best TV shows ever.
Needless to say, my young niece and nephew love that show. At times when they come to visit my home, we often put it up via Disney Plus.
Fun fact Bluey is actually a female.
@Nintendencies you left out the fact about yourself where you’re also like a ghost, spirit thingy? Named shinigami. Very very important detail ya know.
Now can we get my man, the GOAT Ray Narvaez Jr to stream this like he did the Peppa Pig game and get a reveal on the level of the Queen of England thing in that game that literally made the news on this site? Like screw it use the Queen again in Bluey I dunno the plot of this thing.
@Sunsy
This year is very surprising from Outright Games as publisher to release more and more kids games.
After last time Paw Patrol World, new Transformers game, new Jumanji game, new Grinch game, now this Bluey game.
And let's not forget Paw Patrol movie 2 that will be aired at theatre on 29 September 2023 and I'm very sure there will be another new Paw Patrol game after the movie released.
Also, new Trolls movie will be released on 17 November 2023 at theatre and it gave me speculation if Outright Games or Microids will provide a new Trolls game on modern consoles.

@aSmilingMan
Correction, Outright Games is the publisher, not the developer.
@ketrac
I love the contribution of Outright Games by providing more and more kids games on modern consoles.
@Anti-Matter thank you! Edited the comment.
Love Bluey and a minigame collection would be ideal.
I'm high-key hoping for a physical release. I wouldn't mind having a copy for posterity's sake (and if it's actually a good game, then that's a bonus).
Side note: Anyone not already watching the show is really missing out. Despite the pre-school target demographic, Bluey is something special in a way that other cartoons (whether for kids or adults) could only dream of being.
@HammerGalladeBro one of the latest episodes talks about how Blueys auntie can't have children and she really wants children. It's funny for the kids because of the jokes but it has really deep stories for the most part.
As a parent of 3 girls, I love it when they want to watch Bluey. Bing and Peppa are horrible characters that get away with being brats while Bluey actually teaches things and has a moral at the end of the story. I reckon it'll play like the Peppa game but I'd like it if we can pick a character and just explore the Bluey world. If they use the same voice actors, there's no way it can be a bad game
@Anti-Matter Cool, hope Outright does a good job with Bluey. Still love the My Little Pony game they published. I wish Outright would just make a Trolls game already. Like the two mobile games no longer exist.
Closest I have to a Trolls game is the pinball table in Pinball FX. They did a great job with the table, paid attention to details from the movies.
I was just thinking about this the other day. I was even playing with the idea of planning a rom hack of Hamtaro: Ham Hams Unite! on GBC using Bluey characters. Honestly a Bluey game would work well in the Hamtaro adventure game genre.
@DTFaux Bluey is one of the best kids shows. It's one of those shows that you put on for the kids but end up watching it, even when they go. I went a bit crazy and I got my kids Blueys house, all the figures, cuddly toys etc. So I hope they do a physical version so I can buy it for me... I mean them 😏
@NinjaNicky : It will almost certainly get a physical release.
Peer-reviewed classifications are not necessary for digital-only releases in Australia, and the Bluey decision above was a peer-reviewed one.
@Ryne-Gaia
Oh yeah that too of course. Not sure why I omitted that part, death gods should have no shame in indulging in Australian cartoon dogs after all!
Assuming it's not terrible, my kids would love a Bluey game. I don't have high hopes, because this type of licensed game is usually not great, but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.
I love Bluey. Such a wholesome and cute comfort watch. This looks adorable.
@Nintendencies exactly. Unless of course this means…. YOURE A FRAUD. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🥳🥳🥳🥳
@Anti-Matter ?
Sounds great. I hope it's playable by kids on Bluey's target demographic.
Nice, one of the best things to come from Australia in recent times.
Though I wish they didn’t bend the knee to the “fat-phobic” rot.
Well now the theme song is stuck in my head…
What is this show? It seems to have become massively popular but I have seen very little outside of short clips. What is the attraction?
