Nex Playground hits its lowest price of the year during Prime Day

The Nex Playground – the motion-controlled, camera-based games console aimed at kids and families – is 20% off during Amazon's Prime Day sale, matching its lowest price of the year. The discount applies to non-Prime members too, but the sale ends today.

Launched in 2023, the Nex Playground is a plug-and-play cube that connects to any TV or projector and uses AI alongside a built-in wide-angle camera to track up to four players at once – no controllers needed. It ships with five games out of the box: Fruit Ninja, Starri, Whac-a-Mole Deluxe, Go Keeper, and Party Fowl. Accessing the full catalog requires a Play Pass subscription, priced at $49 for three months or $89 for a year. That unlocks licensed titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rooftop Mayhem, Bluey Bust-a-Mole, and Peppa Pig Jump & Giggle, plus more adult-friendly options like Zumba Fitness Party and Bowling.

The Nex Playground sits well below the price of a PS5, Xbox Series X, or Switch 2, making it a cheaper entry point for family gaming. It carries kidSAFE+ and COPPA certification, and Nex Team states the device never stores private user data – no ads or in-app purchases either, which is a genuine selling point for parents.

If you're after rainy-day entertainment that keeps kids moving rather than just sitting, this is one of the more practical Prime Day deals in the gaming space. Just don't wait – the sale wraps up today.
