Nex’s official U.S. store listed the Nex Playground for $239, reduced from a displayed regular price of $299, when checked on October 8, 2026. That is a dated price snapshot, not a guarantee the offer is still available. The console includes a five-game Starter Pack; access to the full catalog and new content is tied to Play Pass, so factor any subscription into the total cost.
What the sale price includes
The Nex Playground is an active-play game system that connects to a TV. Nex’s store lists a wide-angle camera, motion engine, Arm Cortex A-Series SoC, PlayOS, HDMI connection, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0. The box includes a magnetic privacy cover, setup remote, power and HDMI cables, and the five-game Starter Pack. These are manufacturer descriptions, not independently tested performance claims.
