Outright Games has today announced that Bluey: The Videogame is set to bring the award-winning TV series to Switch on 17th November.
Revealed as an "interactive sandbox adventure", this one will see you playing as Bluey, Bingo, Chilli and Bandit (there's four-person multiplayer to get the whole family involved) as you explore locations from the show, play minigames such as ‘Keepy Uppy’ and ‘Magic Xylophone’, and dive into a brand-new four-part storyline — and we'll never say no to more Bluey.
All of this is accompanied by voice work from the show's English-speaking cast and several tracks from Joff Bush's original score will also be making an appearance.
It might not be the most groundbreaking concept, but this sounds like a sweet way to welcome young fans into the world of video games. There are a good number of accessibility features included to make this transition even easier including an on/off toggle for the UI and simple on-screen instructions accompanying the voiceover.
The above trailer gives a pretty good idea of what's in store for this one, but you can check out even more screenshots from Outright Games below.
If Bluey has somehow not managed to enter your life yet, you should check it out (seriously, it's adorable). The video game is undoubtedly leaning towards a younger audience, but it is looking sweet enough from what we have seen so far.
Will you be picking up Bluey: The Videogame in November? Bark your thoughts in the comments.

What is the deal with Bluey? I still have not seen an episode of this show! Edit: and though it may be childish, I must need ensure the world knows I was FIRST!
@CaleBoi25 do you have kids?
If not, you may not get it yet.
@CaleBoi25 it is probably the most tolerable kids show, in fact sometimes I think it is more enjoyable for grown ups
@CaleBoi25 It's a show that's just as much for parents as it is for kids. It teaches kids right from wrong, and also teaches parents good behaviors for when children aren't behaving.It also lacks the stupidity that seems to be a pre-requisite for most children's shows these days.
It does get sone flack for the parents handling the situations too well all the time. Makes some parents feel bad, lol.
It's an excellent show, though.
Yay...! 😃
Another kids game by Outright Games.
@CaleBoi25 It's pretty cool, as far as kids shows go. It doesn't talk down to the kid audience, and it's pleasantly paced.
For me as an adult, it's charming background noise while I'm doing housework.
IF IT IS GOOD I might snag this for my little brother come Christmas.
My grandkids love Bluey. I love Bluey. I can't imagine a Bluey game being anything close to enjoyable.
goes back to watching Bluey
@CaleBoi25 I think anyone can enjoy Bluey; you don't even have to be a parent. But not going to lie: I've put the kids down to bed, poured a whiskey, and continued watching episodes by myself at night. It's just a fantastically funny, well-written show.
One of the best shows ever made
@CaleBoi25
Everybody can enjoy kids cartoon series, doesn't matter you are kids or adult peoples.
@CaleBoi25 I will admit I’ve cried many times while watching Bluey. It is not afraid to tackle serious subjects. Yes some episodes are silly. But some episodes tackle real life issues like death, infertility, miscarriage, abandonment, and hangovers.
I get all my Parenting skills from watching Bluey!!! Its hilariously accurate

Aaaannnnnd why should I care?

Seriously, it IS a good show for the family. As a parent of a rather large family, a lot of stuff in the show hits home.
I am wondering how the show will translate into a game, though. Being sandbox-style, would you wander about town like in "Amazing Frogs" or some Roblox game,just finding stuff to do?
You know what? The Bluey show is good. And if the game ends up being an ok game for kids then that's great.
Although, just like Peppa Pig, I wonder how would they translate a slice of life child show to a videogame.
This will be a fixture in my house. More Bluey content!!!
And for people who don’t have kids, I’ll say this: The people on the Bluey subreddit are either parents trading memes or childless adults looking for confirmation that its socially acceptable to watch without children.
Regardless of how good of a game this will actually be, I'm definitely gonna pick it up for my gaming library.
And if the writing is on par with the show's, we're gonna be in for a fun time.
this a kind of mobile game, free.
My daughter loves this show... I love this show... this is a super easy win for Christmas. XD
@CaleBoi25 Peppa Pig but not horrible
If we're lucky (which we're not, since he's a character on the show), this game will be average. And yet I want a physical copy anyway, because I think it would look great next to Metroid Prime Remastered on my shelf.
@CaleBoi25 It's the best anime I've seen since Friends.
Yes, we'll be getting this. Finally managed to get that nasty little Peppa pig out of our house, replaced by bluey.
The oddest thing about the trailer is how the game animation is so much smoother than the tv show. I think if they had used an FPS closer to TV it might give it more of a feel like you're part of the show. But, that's probably counter intuitive.
Honestly not sure if my kids would want to play this. They still watch the show even though they've kind of grown past the intended target demo. Maybe there will be a demo at launch and we can see if they might actually enjoy the game.
Bandit is based and the best dad on tv.
Not even ironically saying this: Bluey is hands-down the best children's TV show I've seen in my life. My two little girls love it, and it's written in that expert two-tiered way that hits differently for children and adults.
@CaleBoi25 So, speaking as a former teacher, the deal with Bluey is that it's basically the logical evolution of Steve-era Blue's Clues, but instead of providing primarily linguistic development, Bluey provides emotional development. It's really good, even if you don't have kids, especially Season 2. Basically, the show is about what it means to show respect for feelings regardless of age, what happens if you don't, and how to fix it. The characters all being absolutely adorable, but also shockingly (for kid tv) realistic at times, makes it a very addictive watch. I'd rank it at or near early seasons of Stephen Universe in terms of how it portrays emotional development.
This game is an instant buy. My 2 sons have opened up to me about emotional struggles that they may have only had the language to articulate, when it was too late to talk about it. I wish you could play as Winton, though...
@EvenStephen7 I wish it had spin-offs more geared towards older audiences. I would absolutely kill for a work-related show, like I NEED to see Chilli's eye roll when Madge is being ridiculous, and I NEED to see Bandit's dig site crew
@Bucky I watch it more than my kids do.
Well, Peppa Pig have a worthy rival for 'Game of the year'
Ok, I arrived late for jokes....
When something is called a family show/movie, that typically means that it is for kids, with a couple jokes or references that the kids won't get. Bluey is truly a family show. All of us watch it together, and all of us are enjoying all of it.
If you haven't seen it, and you do have kids, watch it tonight. If you don't have any kids, watch it next time you are babysitting. It will really surprise you.
November 17th??? Bluey is gonna compete with Boruto and Chibi Joker.
My kids are on the edge of ”outgrowing” (Fortnite-boy and Pokemon-boy) Bluey but it’s been sursprising to see them return to it every now and then. Might get it if they seem keen. If nothing else then for the soundtrack.
@Zequio you don’t need kids to enjoy Bluey. My partner and I don’t have any and we’ve watched every episode of Bluey.
You just need an open mind, a sense of whimsy and an appreciation for the wholesome. It’s just a very sweet show, really well animated and genuinely very funny at times. Especially when Muffin is involved!
I've never seen a comment section so universally full of praise. For a kids TV show at that!
Bluey is incredible. We all watch it as a family and I'm taking the kids to see Bluey live in February. I think I'm more excited about it than they are.
i honestly believe the show to be true post modern art. its so touching and heartfelt. Not to mention relatable as a parent.
@krisrk1 Hangovers as in "a severe headache or other after effects caused by drinking an excess of alcohol"?
I'm impressed if that's the case. It's at least not a real life issue for me.
This episode of Bluey is called our princess is in another castle.
This is great news to those who like Bluey. Also, I'm another one who's going to say Bluey is a great children's show. I'm just an adult who likes cartoons and animation and I even put it on from time to time (actually had it on earlier today).

Can’t wait for the AoT fans to review bomb this
But seriously I heard of the show and apparently the show is not afraid to talk about things like taking care of a deaf child and dealing with grief.
@ClassicBen_1996 wow. You REALLY created a account JUST to trash the game and threaten people? Get reported buddy.
@Greatluigi You could say that again, I watched the "Copycat" episode today.
(actual Bluey spoilers)
What went from Bluey copying her dad turned into finding an injured bird who eventually died and Bluey coping. I genuinely did not expect that and teared up. It handled it so well too.
@Olmectron Hangovers as in excess drinking. And I should have specified hangovers WITH kids. It really sucks when that happens. Definitely a major issue for us parents.
@ClassicBen_1996
is everything OK mate?
@Uncle_Franklin just ignore and report them.

strange chap.
anyway, I know some small mammals that would most likely enjoy this game.
@Bucky Yup! started watching with my boy and I think I enjoy it more than he does!
@CaleBoi25 HIGHLY recommend you check it out. Each episode is only around 9 minutes long. Writing is very clever. I may check this game out for myself!
@Jamessmooth My son calls it "daddy's show"
