Bluey Joins Just Dance 2026 The Comfort Crossover We Needed

Good news for everyone whose comfort show is a cartoon dog: Bluey is officially joining Just Dance 2026 Edition. That’s right, Australia’s favourite blue heeler pup is stepping out of your watch queue and onto the dance floor, and suddenly your cozy Friday night plans just got a whole lot more active.

Ubisoft, BBC Studios, and Ludo Studio have teamed up to create a Bluey-themed map in Just Dance 2026, where you’ll get to groove with Bluey, Bingo, Mum, and Dad across Brisbane backdrops and the Heeler family home. The gameplay is playful and lighthearted, but let’s be real, half the fun will be seeing how unhinged you look attempting Bandit-style dad moves in your lounge room.

Look, we know Bluey is “technically” for kids. But if you’ve ever cried during “Sleepytime” or found yourself rewatching “Grannies” because it’s the best 7 minutes of television ever made, this crossover is basically aimed at you. Just Dance isn’t just about choreo, it’s about pure serotonin. Which makes Bluey the perfect fit for those of us who use both franchises as a gentle escape from the chaos of, well, everything.

As Marina Mello from BBC Studios put it: “Bluey & Bingo love to dance, and now families everywhere can join in too.” But let’s be honest: so can the childless 20- and 30-somethings whose idea of self-care is a glass of prosecco, a candle burning, and a 20-minute dance session with a cartoon dog.

Just Dance 2026 Edition launches October 14, 2025 on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Switch™ 2 (via backwards compatibility). Translation: whether you’re winding down after work or hosting a chaotic flatmate dance-off, Bluey’s got your back.

Bluey isn’t just for kids, it’s a show about joy, play, and connection that happens to be animated. Pair that with Just Dance, a game designed to get people moving and laughing without judgment, and you’ve got the ultimate comfort crossover.

So yes, this might technically be marketed as family fun, but for a lot of us, it’s permission to embrace our inner kid and dance it out with zero shame.
