With an NBA game coming, Nex Playground is in for a big 2026

The era of getting off your couch to play a video game is alive and well, thanks to the Nex Playground. Designed as a family-first gaming device, Nex Playground exclusively uses motion controls and the company develops all its games either in-house or with vetted studios. That means parents control the content their children can access on it, and there’s a large library of games with younger audiences in mind.
