Get ready to surf the strangest channels in the galaxy: Blippo+ arrives on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on September 23, 2025. The live-action FMV “off-cable TV simulator” brings a full-color version of the cult Playdate experience to bigger screens—inviting players to hop between bizarre broadcasts and piece together the unfolding mystery on Planet Blip.
Platforms, Date, and How to Play
Blippo+ launches on Switch (eShop) and PC (Steam) on September 23. You can wishlist it now on Steam and keep an eye on the Switch eShop listing as the date approaches.
What to Expect
Instead of traditional levels, Blippo+ channels your attention through a patchwork of live-action programming. The fun is in channel surfing—catching clues, callbacks, and crossovers as you flip between shows to follow the story threading across the dial. In color for the first time, the Switch/PC version preserves the scrappy, late-night-TV vibe while making the visual gags and hidden details pop.
From Playdate to Full Color
Originally part of Playdate Season 2, Blippo+ aired in charming 1-bit black-and-white. On Switch and PC, it’s upgraded to full color while keeping the same spirit: weird, witty, and wonderfully analog.
Who’s Behind Blippo+
Blippo+ is published by Panic and created by YACHT, Telefantasy Studios, Noble Robot, and Dustin Mierau—a collaboration that blends music, video art, and indie game craft into one channel-flipping fever dream.
