Bluey’s Happy Snaps will soon let gaming fans see a classic cartoon from a new perspective when it launches fall 2026.
The titular blue heeler and her sister, Bingo, both showed up with a new video game during the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview today. Its trailer shows how fans of the show capture special moments and gather collectibles when it launches for PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S.
Bluey’s Happy Snaps is only the latest entry in what has become a string of installments in the Bluey universe. Originally launched as an animated show from creator Joe Brumm in 2018, the series has attracted global attention thanks to its mix of touching moments and a sense of humor that appeals to both kids and adults. By July 2025, Bluey was ranking atop Nielsen streaming charts, towering over other popular series, such as Squid Game, Reacher, South Park, and more, with 25.1 billion minutes viewed between January and June.
As cartoon cattle dogs continued to reel in fans in the 2020s, the series expanded with Bluey: The Video Game in 2023. Although it did its best to capture the look and feel of the show, we were left unimpressed by its barebones offerings and gave it a 4/10 in our review.
Bluey’s Happy Snaps will let Bluey and Bingo take another swing in the gaming space when it launches this fall. Until then, you can read about how the cartoon made the jump to real life with a Disneyland attraction. You can also catch up on everything announced at the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview.
