  • A: No. The system comes with 5 starter games installed. The subscription pays for the entire game library + extras in other games.

    submitted byMiranda - 8 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 - 8 months ago
  • A: Yes you appear to need a subscription

  • A: What chemicals are triggering the Prop 65 warning in this play console?

    submitted bySelena - 1 month 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 - 7 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 - 8 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.

The setup process was very easy and you can get right into Fruit Ninja within a few minutes of setting up. I was very impressed with the simple setup and intuitive controls. If there was one thing I can add to a wish list: Being able to create individual for folks in my household so each can track their progress individually.

Smith19 - 21 days ago, Verified purchaser
We bought it at full price. For anyone else considering it, it’s a great investment, especially if you get long winters/extra hot summers leading to lots of indoor time. Below is my observation/experience: -lots of movement, not just sitting on the tush -movements manage the games, no additional controllers to keep track of, only 1 primary remote -No commercials -No socialization/chatting feature (my fave to keep kids safe) Games were great and kept all kids ages 3-14 engaged (the under 10 year olds were more excited/invested). We started with preloaded games (5 games) and then upgraded to full subscription (100% worth it). The adults also played but we were out of breath VERY quickly. We’re not necessarily all out of shape but after the game it definitely felt that way. 🫣 In summary the games truly exert energy getting these kiddos tired indoors. 😴

We bought this about 6 weeks ago and the whole family has enjoyed it! My kids want to play all the time (and it gets them active and wears them out so yay) but it’s even gotten my parents and my wife’s parents playing. The subscription has a ton of games and is bringing new ones each month! Totally worth every penny!

We really love our nex. We’ve had it for several months now and have spent many hours of fun on it. It is easy and engaging for the whole family. We really really loved being able to purchase the sport game pack and I would love to purchase more game packs. The subscription isn’t really worth it for our kids age so it would be nice to just be able to purchase the age appropriate ones.

I have one in my counseling therapy office — I do play therapy. This has been a client favorite for years now. It helps when kids need to see how exercise can help them feel better (learn self care), when they have agitated energy they need to burn before they can process what is bothering them, and as an end of session reward for good work. I have lots of families go buy one after they see how well it works with their kids. Now, I want one for my house because I enjoy the workout I get playing with the kids
