Kids Can Now Play With Bluey In Minecraft
The Heeler family is heading to Minecraft, and yes, your preschooler will want to play immediately.
Although it's been around for more than 15 years, Minecraft has really blown up in the last few years, with a big movie release and all the branded clothes, toys and gear you could ever want. And now, your preschooler's favourite character is joining the game.
Starting February 5, Bluey fans who have the Bedrock edition of Minecraft can explore the Heeler house, relive memorable moments from the show and search for hidden keys that unlock new play areas. Brought to life by Jigarbov Productions in partnership with BBC Studios and Ludo Studio, kids can also play mini-games from the show, including I-Spy, Hide and Seek and Ragdoll.
The Bluey add-on will be available in the Minecraft Marketplace and fans can collect a free (virtual) mask of Chattermax until March 6.
How much will it cost?
No price has been revealed yet, but previous downloadable content (DLC) collaborations, like the Hello Kitty and Friends farm simulator, cost around $10 USD.
Can I play with Bluey on Minecraft Education or Java Edition?
No, the Bluey DLC will only be available to Bedrock users.
Which characters will be available?
Minecraft players can choose to play as Bluey, Bingo, Mum (Chilli) or Dad (Bandit).
