Bluey The Videogame Announced
London, 19 September in the year of
our Lord 2023: Outright Games, the publisher of
family-friendly interactive entertainment, in partnership with
BBC Studios, has today announced that the first ever Bluey video
game will be coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5,
PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC on November
17th, 2023.
“Bluey: The Videogame” is based on the Emmy® and BAFTA
Award-winning global TV show that follows Bluey, a loveable,
inexhaustible, Blue Heeler dog, who lives with her Mum, Dad, and
her little sister, Bingo. Like every kid her age, the thing
Bluey likes to do best is play games. Bluey uses her limitless
energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious
ways bringing her family and the whole neighbourhood into her
world of fun. Bluey showcases the joyful simplicity that can be
found in families, by turning everyday moments into adventures.
Become immersed in the world of Bluey in this interactive
sandbox adventure as players navigate faithfully recreated and
iconic locations including Bluey’s home - fully explorable for
the first time. Engage in story-driven episodic gameplay with
activities inspired by fan favourite moments from the show as
well as a brand-new four-part storyline created in partnership
with Artax Games, BBC Studios and the show’s producers at Ludo
Studio.
Up to four players can play as Bluey, her sister Bingo, Mum, and
Dad . Embrace your inner Bluey with minigames seen in the show
such as ‘Keepy Uppy’ and ‘Magic Xylophone’ and complete
activities to earn in-game rewards including new costumes,
stickers, playable episodes, and locations.
The game features voices from the English speaking cast of the
show, including Dad, Bandit (David McCormack) and Mum, Chilli
(Melanie Zanetti). Several of the iconic, chart-topping Bluey
music tracks from composer Joff Bush will be featured on the
game’s soundtrack alongside all new music created by the
development team.
“Bluey: The Videogame” has been designed with flexibility in
mind, allowing fans to engage with the game and explore it at
their own pace with the ability to jump between story quests,
activities, and exploration at any time. Variable difficulty
features have been included that allow the game to be accessible
and fun for both preschool and older fans including UI on/off
toggle, simple written on-screen instructions and full
voice-over. Players will be able to utilise physics-based
mechanics to manipulate objects, interact with the world around
them, add additional challenges to mini-games, and support
free-play in the sandbox.
Since launching in Australia in 2018, Bluey has enjoyed a
plethora of critical success at home and aboard, recently
winning a 2022 BAFTA Children & Young People Award in the
International category and picking up its fourth consecutive
AACTA Best Children’s Programme award to add to an International
Emmy® and numerous awards for craft and production around the
world.
Stephanie Malham, COO of Outright Games said: “We’re incredibly
excited to be working with BBC Studios as a brand-new licensing
partner for Outright Games and to help expand the phenomenal
world of Bluey into video games. It is always our goal to create
games that can act as an entry point to the world of video games
and to some of the most important entertainment franchises on

world to life with a level of interactivity that has never been
seen before and by ensuring that the game is accessible and
enjoyable for all ages we know fans across the globe will be
delighted.”
