Fifteen years is a long time to go without a major Sesame Street console game. In the gaming world, 15 years is roughly equivalent to a thousand epochs, the entire lifecycle of several hardware generations, and about a million changes to how we play. But fear not, cookie-lovers and alphabet-enthusiasts—the wait is officially over!
To celebrate Sesame Street Day, Outright Games (in cozy collaboration with Sesame Workshop) has just dropped a brand-new accolades trailer for Sesame Street: Friends & Fun, and it's bringing all the warm, fuzzy nostalgia right to your living room.
What's Cooking on the Street?
As the first major console entry for the franchise in a decade and a half, Friends & Fun is designed to give longtime fans a joyful trip down memory lane while rolling out the welcome mat for a brand-new generation of gamers. Known for its heavy focus on kindness, community, and playful learning, the game is already turning heads for its gorgeous recreation of the iconic neighborhood, fully voiced characters, and wholesome local co-op play.
Here is a taste of what you can dive into right now:
- Join the Neighbourhood: Create and customize your very own character, move right into Sesame Street, and pitch in to help residents get ready for the biggest block party of the year.
- Over 100 Activities: Explore classic locations, tackle fun challenges, and jump into mini-games alongside heavy hitters like Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby.
- Play Together: Whether you want to conquer the adventure solo or share the fun with a parent, sibling, or friend via two-player local co-op, nobody has to play alone.
Double the Fun This November
If playing through a digital recreation of the neighborhood isn't enough, families have even more to look forward to. New episodes of Sesame Street Season 57 are heading to Netflix on 23 November, giving you plenty of extra screen time with your favorite furry icons.
Sesame Street: Friends & Fun is available right now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. So clear off the couch, grab a snack (maybe something chocolate chip), and get ready to party on the Street!
