Gaming enthusiasts will soon experience the beloved cartoon series Bluey from a fresh angle when Bluey's Happy Snaps arrives in fall 2026. The titular blue heeler and her sister Bingo made a surprise appearance in a new video game trailer during today's March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview event. The footage showcases how players can snap memorable moments and hunt for collectibles across multiple platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
Bluey's Happy Snaps marks the latest expansion in the growing Bluey franchise, which began as an animated series created by Joe Brumm in 2018. The show has captivated audiences worldwide with its heartfelt storytelling and humor that resonates with both children and adults. By July 2025, Bluey dominated Nielsen streaming charts, surpassing hits like Squid Game, Reacher, and South Park with an impressive 25.1 billion minutes viewed in the first half of the year.
As the cartoon cattle dogs continued to win hearts throughout the 2020s, the franchise expanded into gaming with Bluey: The Video Game in 2023. While it aimed to replicate the show's charm, our review found its limited gameplay disappointing, earning it a 4/10 score.
Bluey's Happy Snaps offers Bluey and Bingo another chance to shine in the gaming world this fall. In the meantime, fans can explore how the series leaped into reality with a Disneyland attraction or catch up on all announcements from the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview.
