The magic of basketball, blended with family-friendly fun and hilarious mini-games, has just bounced onto consoles and PC today.
NBA BOUNCE, from developer Unfinished Pixel and publisher Outright Games, has launched today. This fast-paced experience is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC for £44.99. Play Anywhere support is in tow.
With the 2025-26 NBA season tipping off soon, and with NBA 2K26 recently released to critical acclaim, NBA BOUNCE arrives at the perfect time to give fans of all ages their own way to join the excitement, whether playing solo or with friends and family.
The Ball’s in Your Court!
In NBA BOUNCE, you are invited to step onto the court with your favourite team. You can choose from 30 official NBA teams, including the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, and Los Angeles Lakers.
Your mission is to dribble and dunk your way to victory on team-themed courts, accompanied by energetic mascots and roaring crowds. You’ll go from rookie to pro, unlocking cool jerseys, sneakers, and even more mascots along the way.
Game Modes for Everyone
This is a game designed to be accessible and fun for players of all ages. It features simple controls, three difficulty settings, and helpful tutorials for even the youngest rookies. You can enjoy a variety of modes, from fast-paced 3v3 Quick Matches and full NBA Seasons to custom tournaments for up to four local players.
The standout Party Mode adds wild twists each quarter – like shocking Electroball or confetti-filled Ball Pop! – making it the perfect choice for family game nights and friendly rivalries with up to four players sharing the court.
Players can create their own basketball star too, with a huge range of avatar customisation options, from head size and skin tone to clothing, accessories, and over-the-top wacky cartoon designs. All official NBA team mascots are also available to unlock and play.
A Meaningful Extension for the NBA
The launch of NBA BOUNCE represents a major milestone for Outright Games. Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games, said:
“Working alongside the NBA, a world-renowned brand with a rich history, has given us the opportunity to develop a game that blends competitive basketball action with accessibility and charm… We’re excited to see families everywhere hit the court and make unforgettable memories together.”
Adrienne O’Keeffe, Senior Vice President, Head of Consumer Product Partnerships, NBA, added:
“NBA Bounce represents a meaningful extension of the league’s commitment to engaging fans through innovative and family-friendly experiences… inviting all to hit the court, share the fun, and feel the magic of basketball together.“

A History of Family-Friendly Releases
We’ve been keenly anticipating this new NBA adventure for a little while now. It was back in May that we first got wind of the new title when we reported that NBA Bounce would shoot for a September release on Xbox and more.
Outright Games is the leading publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, known for bringing licensed titles like PAW Patrol and Bratz: Rhythm & Style to console. This new NBA title fits perfectly into their mission.
