Basketball is getting a family-friendly makeover this fall. Outright Games, known for its kid-centric video game titles, has officially announced NBA Bounce, a colorful and accessible basketball experience launching on September 26, 2025. Developed by Unfinished Pixel, the game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
This marks the first time Outright Games has partnered with a major sports organization, and the result is a slam dunk for gamers of all ages. Packed with vibrant visuals, customizable characters, and iconic NBA mascots, NBA Bounce is set to become a must-have title for families and younger basketball fans.
What Is NBA Bounce?
NBA Bounce is a fast-paced, arcade-style basketball game designed with accessibility and fun at its core. Forget ultra-realistic physics or complex controls—this game invites everyone, from seasoned players to first-time ballers, to join the fun.
Players can shoot, dribble, and dunk across four engaging game modes, including quick matches, full-season campaigns, and a trophy-winning challenge mode featuring 32 unique objectives. Expect fast, fluid gameplay with rewards and collectibles that keep the action exciting.
Customize Your Court Presence
One of NBA Bounce’s standout features is its extensive customization system. Players can create their own male or female avatars, choosing from a wide range of head sizes, skin tones, facial features, clothing, and accessories. Whether you want to build a realistic baller or a comical cartoon creation, the tools are there.
For an added dose of fun, official NBA team mascots like Benny the Bull (Chicago Bulls), Rocky (Denver Nuggets), and Burnie (Miami Heat) are unlockable and fully playable. Mascot mayhem has never been this fun.
NBA Bounce Built for Family Fun
True to Outright Games’ mission, NBA Bounce is designed for younger gamers and family play. With intuitive controls, three adjustable difficulty levels, and built-in tutorials, even the newest players can enjoy solo or multiplayer action without frustration.
Local multiplayer supports up to four players, making it a perfect addition to family game night. Whether it’s kids learning the basics or parents reliving their hoop dreams in cartoon form, NBA Bounce brings generations together on the court.
Industry Milestone
Stephanie Malham, Managing Director at Outright Games, shared her excitement about the project:
