Outright Games has launched Sesame Street: Friends & Fun, a preschool-focused adventure available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Players can explore the neighborhood, meet familiar characters and complete more than 50 activities while helping prepare for a block party; local two-player co-op is also included.
Outright Games has launched Sesame Street: Friends & Fun, a neighborhood adventure for players ages 3 and up that asks them to help prepare for a community celebration. The game is available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, bringing a preschool-oriented Sesame Street experience to families on several platforms.
The game follows a player-created character as they settle into a home, explore the neighborhood and meet familiar Sesame Street residents. Its central goal is helping the community get ready for the Big Block Party. Outright Games says the adventure includes more than 50 story activities and minigames, combining exploration, interactive storytelling and educational play.
Activities are linked to characters and neighborhood tasks. The examples provided by Outright Games include cooking alongside Cookie Monster, helping Abby Cadabby with magical tasks and tidying shared spaces. The game also features Elmo, Grover, Big Bird and Tango. Players can customize their character and home, while familiar locations such as the Community Garden and Bandstand serve as places to explore and play.
Local two-player co-op allows a family member or another child to join the adventure on the same system, according to the company. Outright Games describes the controls as intuitive and says the game uses positive reinforcement. The supplied announcement does not provide a price, a precise release date beyond “today,” or details about online features.
The release brings Sesame Street characters and settings into a game designed for preschool players and families, rather than presenting the title as a general-audience adventure. Its activities and party-preparation goal give young players a sequence of tasks to follow, while customization and neighborhood exploration offer room to play at their own pace.
The co-op option may matter to households introducing a child to video games: Outright Games says an adult or older sibling can join and guide play while the child remains in control. That is the publisher’s description of the intended experience, not independent evidence of educational outcomes. The source gives no research or testing results about learning, age suitability beyond the stated 3-and-up rating, or how children respond to the game.

Built Around the Neighborhood
Sesame Street has been presented for more than 50 years as a neighborhood populated by recurring characters and shared community spaces. The game draws on that established setting, with Outright Games saying it worked with Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, to bring the neighborhood into the title.
Producer Nazaret Guerrero said the team treated the neighborhood as more than a backdrop, aiming to make it feel welcoming and active. The report describes recognizable locations, character-specific activities and a gradual build toward the block party as the main elements connecting the game’s play. It does not detail the scope of Sesame Workshop’s involvement or provide information about the development schedule.
Release Details Still Missing
The source says the game launches “today,” but the supplied report does not include its publication date, so the exact calendar release date cannot be established from the material provided. It also does not state the game’s price, file size, supported PC storefronts, language options, accessibility features or whether any downloadable content is planned.
Although Outright Games describes the title as educational and designed for preschoolers, the announcement does not specify learning objectives, independent evaluations or how the stated age guidance was determined. The report also does not clarify whether co-op is limited to local play beyond identifying it as two-player local co-op, or provide details about parental controls.
Families Can Explore the Game
The game is available now, according to Outright Games, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The company directs readers to its website for more information. The supplied source announces no future update, event or additional platform release.
Families considering the title can check the relevant platform store for current pricing, availability and technical details. Any further information about educational features, accessibility or post-launch plans will depend on details from Outright Games or Sesame Workshop; none are confirmed in the source material.
