    submitted byMiranda - 5 months ago
  • A: No you don't, it comes with 5 games (including Fruit Ninja) in the Starter Pack. Play Pass let you access the full catalog of 30+ games, with new game adding every month.

    submitted byBelle from Nex Playground - 5 months ago

    submitted byMama - 5 months ago
  • A: Yes! It comes with five basic games which are extremely simple and can be completed in one sitting. Just know to fully experience this you will need a yearly subscription which is not clearly written on the box

    submitted byNeeds subscription - 4 months ago
  • A: Based on the product information, a subscription is required to access the full game library. Customers generally have mixed views on the subscription model. Some find the yearly fee worthwhile for the variety of games offered. Others wish more games were included for the initial cost. The quarterly Play Pass subscription costs $49 while the annual subscription costs $89. This unlocks access to over 20 games beyond the 5 included titles. Several customers recommend getting the subscription for the best value and to access new game additions monthly. However, some reviewers wish more games were included for free initially before paying extra.

Q: Once you purchase the annual pass, can you download your favorite games? Will the games expire when your pass expires? Or will everything you download still be there after pass expiration?

submitted by Amanda - 5 months ago
  • A: I have one and you don’t download the games. You more so access them, so in that regard, I expect if you discontinue the subscription, you no longer have access to the games in the subscription. I find it worth it and now everyone in our extended family wants one, but they’re sold out everywhere.

We bought this past Christmas for our family and we have had so much fun. There are a few connections to movement issues, but we work through it. My teens actually have had so much fun playing this and exercising too.

Nex Playground: Fun for All Ages with Room to Grow

4 out of 5 stars

Jenna - 16 days ago, Verified purchaser
The Nex Playground is a solid gaming console that delivers above-average design and functionality. The console and remote are sleek and modern, making the unboxing experience feel premium without being over-the-top. Gameplay Experience: The gameplay is mostly smooth and immersive, which makes it enjoyable for both kids and adults. However, there are occasional hiccups where the console misses moves it should catch, but it’s not enough to ruin the fun. Graphics: The graphics are modern and up-to-date, which adds to the overall experience and keeps things visually engaging. Game Library: The game library is diverse, offering something for every age group. This makes it ideal for families, especially those with kids, but there’s room for improvement. Adding more adult fitness-related content would make it even more relevant for grown-ups. Unique Features: One standout feature is the Starrri mode, which is great fun, but the selection of songs could benefit from more popular hits to really elevate the experience. Setup: Setup was easy breezy—no hair-pulling required, which is always a win when dealing with tech. Value for Money: Totally worth the investment. The gameplay pass adds significant value, making the console even more appealing for long-term use. Recommendation: This console is perfect for families with children but is equally enjoyable for adults. It’s a great mix of fun and function, and with a few tweaks (like more fitness games and pop songs), it could be a masterpiece. The Nex Playground: A gaming console that keeps the whole family entertained, from kids mastering moves to adults wishing for more fitness games and pop hits on Starrri. Totally worth it for the gameplay pass alone!"

My household consists of 6 people, which includes 4 kids(all boys!!). Our boys are 10 years old, 7 years old, 4.5 years old and a newborn. I love to keep everyone active and have fun. While I don't mind if they get an hour of screentime on their video game or tv time, I really wanted something that would get them off the couch and get moving. This Nex playground has been the best thing ever invented for our family. Unboxing this was super easy and effortless. Once you connect the tv to the cube (using HDMI), the cube comes with 5 games. You then have an option to sign up for a monthly pass or yearly pass. We did the yearly as it made sense for our family. Either of the passes gives you full access to various games. Even my husband and I got a good workout playing with the kids! Nex Playground makes a perfect gift for the holidays for family or friends. Or even a birthday! Much better than any toys we've ever owned(that get quickly old and boring). You are able to have up to 4 players which is ok, we simply take turns. I love that you use your body motion to play and no remote controls are needed. It does come with a remote control when navigating through the menu. Based on our positive experience I am considering getting a set for our elderly parents to keep them healthy, entertained and active. I do love that I am able to take my cube on vacation or visiting grandparents (if they don't have one) and plug it in their tv and play with our kids. My only suggestion would be to have 10 games as a start up and then purchase a pass for the unlimited afterwards whether it's monthly or yearly. Overall, a terrific gift for someone or self that's well worth every penny. I highly recommend it!!

This game system is so fun! Reminded me of the Wii but better, no need for controllers! On cold and rainy or snowy days I don’t mind when the kids play this for a few hours because it’s so interactive!! They’re constantly up and moving, jumping- dancing- ducking- left then right- you name it. Best Christmas purchase by far! It has so many games and such a wide age variety that the whole family can play! Ages 2- 36 participate in my house!

Expensive console with like 5 free games then everything else is paid. Hate subscriptions. It’s supposed to be easy and fun for children, so why not load more games on it and make it basic instead of having to make everything paid.

It’s a cool in theory but what they failed to advertise is that you can only use 4-player mode if you pay the $90 for the annual subscription. The five games it includes are somewhat lame and are only 1-2 player.
