Outright Games has announced a partnership with The NBA for a “fresh new take” on NBA video games, with NBA Bounce, coming in September 2025.
NBA Bounce will be coming to pretty much all consoles and PC on September 26th, and will be a “family friendly” basketball game, officially licensed by The NBA, and developed by Unfinished Pixel.
Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games, said, “Collaborating with the NBA, an association with such an important legacy and wide reach into other genres of entertainment, marks a new milestone for Outright Games as the first sports organisation we have worked with. For NBA Bounce, it is a privilege for us to bring our expertise in creating playable games for younger players to foster a love of basketball, sports, and sports video games to the next generation of fans.”
A new game is about to commence, and fans will have to perfect both the basic and more complex moves to lead their team to victory on the court. With four unique modes featuring various game structures, from a quick match to a full season, 32 challenges to win trophies, and new collectibles to unlock, fans can experience fast, fun, and rewarding basketball gameplay.
With customisable male and female avatars that include options to adjust head size, skin tones, facial features, clothing, and accessories, fans can create a player that accurately represents themselves or get imaginative by creating a wacky and hilarious cartoon player. Additionally, all of the official NBA mascots will take to the court as unlockable playable characters, giving eager fans the chance to play as mascots from teams like the Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Miami Heat , and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Designed with even the youngest basketball players in mind, the game includes tutorials, intuitive controls, and three difficulty levels, so fans will be able to shoot, dribble, and dunk at their own pace to experience complete independent play. No one will need to be benched; with up to 4-player local multiplayer, the entire family can jump in for a friendly game and create impactful memories together.
NBA Bounce is coming to PS4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch, and PC on September 26th.
