I was never a Neopets player growing up, but I have several friends who shrieked when I told them about this exciting announcement today.
The Flash-based web browser game was a massive title with kids in the 2000s, and now a big hit of nostalgia is coming in 2026 by way of Neopets: Mega Mini Games Collection, in both physical and digital editions, across PC and console. It's a big deal to them, so it might be to you, as well.
Mega Mini Games Collection includes 25 mini-games from Neopets (which are still available for free online), and an all-new 26th game called Starlight Symphony. The trailer for the news showcased some of the mini games in action, along with the official release date.
The physical edition of the game looks very cool, including the 26 mini games plus a "27th hidden mini game to discover," along with physical goodies like a copy of the game, a sticker sheet, art postcards, a double-sided poster, and a scratch card surprise packed in a shiny foil Neopets collector's bag.
There's also a story mode where you can "navigate a fully mapped Neopia...guided by Nyx, your Neopet companion and narrator, as you tackle challenges and uncover the world’s charming lore." Additionally, the press release says you can link the game with Neopass for global leaderboards, earnable cosmetics, currency, and exclusive digital items,
Hey, I'm all for nostalgia these days, especially as we get older and can all better appreciate the fun things we grew up with that take us back to a more innocent and happier time in general, so I'm all for this collection and happy for anyone who's thrilled by the news.
Neopets: Mega Mini Games Collection is set to launch on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and PS4 on March 26, 2026.
