NBA Bounce – ballin’ towards PC and console
Get ready to hit the court in a whole new way as Outright Games has teamed up with the NBA to announce NBA Bounce.
This officially licensed basketball title, developed by Unfinished Pixel, is set to bring a fresh, accessible, and fun take on NBA action to consoles and PC on September 26th 2025.
Xbox players can look forward to joining the fun on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, alongside PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
This collaboration marks Outright Games’ first foray into sports organisation partnerships, promising a unique experience designed for the whole family.
Hit the Court with NBA Bounce
NBA Bounce invites players to shoot, dribble, and dunk their way to glory, leading their chosen team to victory.
The game aims to capture the excitement of basketball, making both basic manoeuvres and more complex plays accessible to players of all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned baller, perhaps having honed skills on the likes of NBA 2K25, or new to the sport, the focus is on fast-paced, rewarding gameplay.
Gameplay Modes and Features
Variety is the spice of life, and NBA Bounce looks to deliver with four unique game modes. These will cater to different playstyles, offering everything from a quick, casual match to the commitment of a full season.
Beyond standard play, there will be 32 distinct challenges to conquer, allowing players to win trophies and unlock a host of new collectibles. This suggests a good level of replayability and rewards for dedicated players looking to experience all the on-court action.
Create Your Star or Play as an NBA Mascot!
One of the most exciting features is the extensive customisation.
Players can create their own unique male or female avatars with a wide array of options. You’ll be able to adjust head size, skin tones, facial features, and, of course, deck out your player in various clothing and accessories. This means you can strive for a realistic representation of yourself on the court or let your imagination run wild and create a truly wacky and hilarious cartoon basketball star.
Adding to the fun, NBA Bounce will feature all of the official NBA team mascots as unlockable playable characters. Imagine taking to the court as Benny the Bull of the Chicago Bulls, Rocky the Mountain Lion of the Denver Nuggets, Champ of the Dallas Mavericks, Clutch the Bear of the Houston Rockets, Burnie of the Miami Heat, or Bango of the Milwaukee Bucks, among others.
Accessible Balling Fun for All Ages
True to Outright Games’ ethos, NBA Bounce is designed with even the youngest basketball fans in mind. The game will include helpful tutorials and intuitive controls to ensure a smooth learning curve. Three distinct difficulty levels will allow players to find their comfort zone and progress at their own pace, fostering independent play.
Family game night is also set to get a sporty upgrade, thanks to the inclusion of up to 4-player local multiplayer. This feature allows the entire family to jump in, share the fun, and create some memorable basketball moments together.
Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games, expressed her enthusiasm for the project: “*Collaborating with the NBA, an association with such an important legacy and wide reach into other genres of entertainment, marks a new milestone for Outright Games as the first sports organisation we have worked with. For NBA Bounce, it is a privilege for us to bring our expertise in creating playable games for younger players to foster a love of basketball, sports, and sports video games to the next generation of fans.*”
Mark your calendars for September 26th 2025, when NBA Bounce arrives on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
It’s shaping up to be a slam dunk for family-friendly sports gaming!
