Nex and Dude Perfect partner for new motion-powered gameplay
Nex announced a new partnership with Dude Perfect, the leading creator-led entertainment company. Together, Nex and Dude Perfect will bring the Dudes’ signature high-energy trick-shot excitement to families everywhere through an all-new motion-powered gameplay launching exclusively on New Playground in summer 2026. As one of Nex’s premier 2026 partners, Dude Perfect expands Nex Playground’s sports titles, one of the most popular and fastest-accelerating content categories on Nex Playground.
Reaching fans in the gaming space
NEX’s focus on active play together in an accessible format makes them a great partner for reaching fans in the gaming space, and we see an opportunity to work together to bottle up some of the Dudes-style fun and bring it to our fans in new ways.
Expansion into new ways to experience fun
With the Nex partnership, Dude Perfect is continuing its expansion into new ways to experience fun with the Dudes at home, taking the spirit of their videos and tours and turning it into an everyday, playable part of family time. This gaming experience will capture the enthusiasm and personality the group is known for, featuring appearances from the beloved Panda mascot and moments inspired by the Dudes’ most iconic content. The collaboration also includes deeper cross-brand opportunities, with Nex and Dude Perfect joint integrations across the Dudes’ Summer 2026 Squad Games Tour and new experiential areas.
Only controller-free console built specifically for families
Nex Playground remains the only controller-free console built specifically for families, using motion-powered gameplay to make active, communal play accessible for all ages. Motion-tracking data stays local to the device, and every system includes a built-in camera cover - both central to Nex’s commitment to privacy and safety.
