Nex Playground brings AI motion gaming to UK families

Nex Playground lands in the UK on 22 June as a cube‑shaped console that replaces controllers with AI-based body tracking via a built‑in camera; priced at £269 in the UK & Ireland, it includes five starter games, with access to more than 60 titles via a Play Pass subscription (£90/year or £45/quarter). Nex says video is processed locally for privacy (no cloud storage) and the device carries kidSAFE+ COPPA certification, with a lens cover and parental controls; the aim is to encourage active play and reduce passive screen time for families.

Engadget’s latest review roundup highlights OpenFit Pro, Nex Playground, Sony A7 V, MSI laptop, and AirTag upgrades

Engadget’s latest review roundup covers five recent tests: Nex Playground is a motion‑tracked family gaming box with a solid library but requires a subscription; Shokz OpenFit Pro delivers effective ambient-noise reduction and comfortable open-ear sound with Dolby Atmos support; MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ is a powerful ultraportable with a bold OLED screen and many ports, but its trackpad is awful, keyboard dull, and the display is limited to 60Hz; Sony A7 V offers fast shooting and excellent image quality with accurate autofocus, though video lags behind rivals and the grip can be uncomfortable; Apple AirTag (2026) is louder with longer range and a more useful Precision Finding feature, but still lacks a keyring hole and its accessories remain pricey. Expert scores accompany each review, ranging from the low 80s to the high 90s, with prices listed for context.

Nex Playground: Kinect-inspired motion gaming for the whole family

Engadget’s review of the Nex Playground finds a $249 motion‑tracking box that brings Kinect‑like family play to your living room, supporting up to four players with easy setup, offline play, and a solid library of kid‑friendly titles. Yet its biggest flaw is the ongoing cost: most games require Nex Play Pass subscriptions ($89/year or $49 for three months) plus a $29 Sports Pack, and there’s no option to buy games individually. Still, polished hardware and continuous updates make it a compelling, family‑oriented alternative to traditional consoles.

Nex Playground Outshines Xbox as Holiday Favorite

The Nex Playground, a Kinect-like gaming device, outsold Xbox Series X|S hardware in the US for November, highlighting the appeal of affordable, family-friendly gaming devices during the holiday season, despite overall low hardware sales. The device, priced at $250 but often on sale for $200, features body-tracking capabilities and a subscription service, and has even surpassed sales of major console bundles for a week.
