School’s out, and that means way more free time to fill with fun and play.
If you’re looking to beat the heat, Nex Playground + Play Pass is packed with fresh updates and new releases to keep the whole family moving this summer. Here's a look at everything that's arrived since April (and a quick preview of what's to come).

It was a busy spring. Have you kept up?
Those turtle brothers may have started on the rooftops, but with the recently added new map and boss, they’re moving to the sewers.
In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Mayhem, an old friend is causing chaos beneath the city. Mondo Gecko is all riled up, and it falls on the Turtles to snap him back to his senses.
To help tackle this new challenge, the level cap has been increased by 10 levels, giving your Turtles more room to grow. If you haven’t checked out the newest map and boss yet, head underground today to prove yourself a master of the sewers.
Prepare to take your game to the next level… Batting arts have arrived in Homerun Heroes: Starstrikers.
Bats now feature passive and active abilities. Slow down blazing-fast pitches, rack up bonus points for each home run, and gain powerful advantages with every swing.
Better yet, Batting Arts grow stronger the more home runs you hit. Stick with your favorite bat, power up its abilities, and show the world what a true Starstriker can do.

Complete weekly challenges to unlock exclusive Street League rewards, then keep pushing your personal best. Whether you're a longtime Puck Rush veteran or brand new to hockey, the streets are waiting.
Keep the rally going in Tennis Smash: Racketville with 2 brand-new opponents to battle on the court.
Say hello to Mr. Mop and c0dy! Mr. Mop is a wily janitor who’s surprisingly sharp when it comes to tennis—and just as handy with a mop as he is with a backhand. Meanwhile, c0dy is a caffeinated programmer who turns his laptop into an unorthodox (but effective) racket. Both characters can now be found in Journey and Versus modes.
Beyond the court, Tennis Smash: Racketville will be the first to support Playdate, a new Connected Play feature that enables virtual match sessions between Trusted Playgrounds and marks the beginning of online play across the platform.
A beta program for community members will roll out in August. You can read all about Connected Play (and how to join the beta) here.

From April through June, Zumba: Fitness Party delivered a steady flow of new workouts to keep the energy high and the routines fresh.
April brought the energy with Get Hyped 30, a high-intensity workout led by Ecem Ozcan. With nine new songs spanning Reggaeton, Cumbia, and more, this 30-minute dance party was all about getting your sweat on.
May took players on a musical journey with Dance 30, a globe-spanning workout led by Mauricio. Packed with Merengue, Salsa, and Reggaeton rhythms, this energetic 30-minute routine combined fun moves with international flavor.
And June introduced Take a Break and Shake, a brand-new 15-song routine focused on accessible, feel-good movement. Designed for all levels, this easy-to-follow class offers a flexible way to dance—whether you’re easing back in, starting fresh, or just squeezing in a quick workout.
Try these latest workouts, mix and match your favorites, and discover the routines that will keep you moving and grooving all summer long.
Now that you're caught up on the latest updates, let’s review the newest games that have joined the Play Pass library.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Earth Rumble puts the power of earthbending in your hands.
With Toph in your corner, you'll step foot in the iconic Earth Rumble tournament and clash against powerful earthbenders like The Boulder, The Big Bad Hippo, and other fan favorites.
Using responsive motion-based controls, you’ll raise, shape, and strike with the ground beneath you—timing each move to outplay your opponent and seize control of the arena.
Can you master each earthbending form and become the Earth Rumble champion? Give this challenging game a go to find out.
It’s time to prove which earthly lifeform is most intelligent in What on Earth?, an alien-hosted, out-of-this-world trivia competition.
Start by choosing your lifeform, from humans to elephants, monkeys, cats, dolphins, and more. Then prove your knowledge across a universe of topics. You can buzz in to answer at any time, but you risk losing points if you’re too hasty.
Climb through increasing difficulty levels and tackle questions across categories like Science, Sports, Movies & TV, and Music & Art. Only the sharpest minds can become Earth’s foremost intellect. Will you pass the test?
