Spring is rolling into the bowling alley with a fresh batch of seasonal collectibles. From March 18 to April 15, play Bowling: Strike! to unlock woodland-themed items, including two new bowling balls, two new pins, and a brand-new bowling lane to brighten up your game.
And great news: last year’s Hatch & Hop Collection is also making a comeback, including favorites like the Easter Basket pin and Hatching Egg bowling ball.
Your first two unlocks are guaranteed to come from the new Springtime Animals set, so you’ll score fresh seasonal rewards once you earn enough points. Hit the lanes today and see if you can collect them all—otherwise you'll need to wait until next year for another chance.
The popular Mirrorama Egg Hunt is returning to Playground! Starting April 1st, golden eggs will be hidden inside select filters. It’s up to you to experiment and discover how to make them appear.
There will be 23 eggs to discover this year (all of last year’s + 5 new eggs), and you can track how many you’ve found in the Egg Room.
If you find them all and want to play again, good news: you can reset the egg hunt in Mirrorama’s settings menu.
Need help finishing your collection? Join the Playground Community on Facebook or Circle to tackle the hunt together. You’ll have until April 15th to find them all.

Starri is now receiving monthly song drops! January, February, and March each included four new songs to slash and catch.
January was all about embracing a fresh start with these new tracks:
February had you catchin’ feelings with these passionate tunes:
And in March, female vocalists took center stage with this collection of fierce jams:
Keep a lookout for new music dropping every month this year. Next up, April is bringing four “Viral Vibes” that are bound to get stuck in your head (in the best kind of way).
In the meantime, try these 12 new tracks and show off your best moves as you master your new favorite Starri routines.
Did you know Zumba: Fitness Party has been getting new workouts every month?
January kicked things off with Fitness Fusion, a 15-song workout featuring an energetic mix of dance styles and genres designed to keep your workout fresh.
February followed with Middle Ground 30, an intermediate-level routine packed with Reggaeton, Salsa, Cumbia, and Pop—all in a fast-paced half-hour session.
And March isn’t slowing down. Before the end of the month, a new batch of eight songs is coming your way. No stale fitness routines here—only happiness and hype.
Tennis Smash: Racketville served up a major February upgrade! Now, two players can face off in a local Versus Mode for some fast-paced, head-to-head action.
We also added a new single-player Journey Mode, where players travel around Racketville to challenge opponents and unlock powerful new characters. Can you make it to the end and defeat Frankie the Hot Dog?
Everyone loves the mini-game Keepy Uppy in Bluey: Bust-a-Move, but having to restart it after the balloons burst was a bit of a drag. So we added 2 new game modes in February to ensure even our youngest Bluey fans (and their parents) can better enjoy the fun.
While Normal Mode ends the game when one balloon touches the floor, Easy Mode allows three balloons to pop before restarting.
But even better, Practice Mode (nicknamed “Toddler Mode” by our community) lets you bounce those balloons around endlessly. Now, every player can enjoy Keepy Uppy at their own pace.
The Unicorn Academy: Friendship Adventures universe became even more magical in March with the Snowy Mountain update!
New quests, an all-new map to explore, winter-themed cosmetics, and a new rider duo—Rory & Storm—are waiting just beyond the portal.
We’ve also added helpful quality-of-life improvements, including a mini map that unlocks areas as you discover new landmarks. You can even fast travel to previously discovered locations with just a click of your remote. There's never been a better time to start your Unicorn Academy adventure!
Sticker pack missions are expanding in March, with new challenges across multiple games (including a special Kung Fu Panda crossover!) in Copy Cat Deluxe.
Want to earn these new, epic stickers? Start in Copy Cat Deluxe, where Rosco will fill you in on the details. Then head back to the Home Screen and enter Kung Fu Panda: Train Like a Master. Team up with Po and the Furious Five, destroy 100 objects, and return to Copy Cat to earn your exclusive crossover collectible.
Once you’ve completed that mission, check the Mission Board for even more sticker-earning challenges waiting across the Playground + Play Pass catalog.
Barbie, Barbie, and Ken have brought some of their favorite movie music to the dance floor with 2 new songs: I’m Just Ken and See You at the Finishing Line.
Each song arrives with its own brand-new stage, along with fresh outfits to keep the dance party going in style. Jump into Barbie Dance Party today to try the new choreography and show off your moves.
Keep your punch combinations flowing this Spring with four new workouts to help you find your zone.
Also, BIG NEWS: the NexGym Spring Challenge is coming up, and BoxFlow Fitness will be part of the event! Keep an eye out… we’ll be sharing more details about the NexGym Spring Fitness Challenge soon.
NHL Puck Rush saw some big, limited-time updates earlier this year. The Stadium Series and Mascot Winter Games events were tons of fun, but there’s even more NHL updates on the way.

With special seasonal events, regular game updates (TMNT and Puppies updates are on the way!), and brand-new experiences arriving throughout the year, there’s always something new to discover on Playground + Play Pass.
