Gameloft, a leader in the creation and publishing of games, is delighted to announce that players will soon be able to play BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS, a brand-new video game launching globally on PC and consoles, in-store and online, on October 15, 2026. *The game will also be available day one with XBOX Game Pass and supports XBOX Play Anywhere. The game invites kids and families to play together in Bluey's world, and is developed in Bluey's hometown by Gameloft Brisbane in close collaboration with Bluey's producers, Ludo Studio, and BBC Studios.
Players can preorder BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS now on Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, XBOX Series X/S, XBOX One, XBOX on PC, and the Epic Games Store. As a limited time offer, players who preorder on these digital platforms will receive the Deluxe Edition content at price of the standard edition. While preorders are not yet available for Steam, the same offer will be available to players on the platform at launch**.
In BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS, players can play, explore and capture moments alongside Bluey and Bingo using Dad's old camera, turning adventures into memories to add to their own unique scrapbook. Set across beloved locations from Bluey's hometown of Brisbane, and made in Brisbane, Australia itself, BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS brings the world of the series to life through familiar characters, favorite toys and games, Australian wildlife and authentic local details inspired by the show. Players can fill their own scrapbook and capture the moments that matter to them.
To celebrate the game's release on October 15, the latest gameplay trailer showcases how BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS can inspire playing "for Real Life" and creativity beyond the screen.
BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS' unique approach to gaming is reflected in research led by Professor Daniel Johnson of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and the Digital Child, which found that BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS strongly supports children's autonomy, competence and creativity through open-ended play and meaningful choice. These findings reflect the game's focus on giving children the freedom to explore and make their own choices, with opportunities for that curiosity to continue beyond the game.
The research review described BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS as an exemplar of developmentally enriching digital play, highlighting its emphasis on creativity, family relationships and safe, offline play.
BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS is filled with the playful moments and authentic details fans know and love from the series. Up to 2 players can discover familiar Brisbane locations together, including New Farm Park (from the episode "Spy Game"), South Bank (from the episode "Ice Cream") and Mount Coot-tha (from the episode "The Sign"), alongside plenty of recognizable details inspired by Bluey's world. Along the way, players can meet their favorite characters including Muffin, Coco, Winton, Lucky and more of Bluey's friends and family. Players can also play games inspired by the series, including Shadowlands and Magic Cauldron.
*Disclaimer: BLUEY'S HAPPY SNAPS in Japan will release digitally on October 15, 2026, and physical editions will release on November 26, 2026.
