K-pop phenomenon BTS has burst onto the gaming scene with its most thrilling collaboration yet – a pioneering partnership with Nex Playground's innovative console. The group's iconic music is set to take centre stage in Starri, the console's addictive rhythm game, promising an electrifying experience that will leave fans breathless.
The Nex Playground has already made waves in the US, and its UK and European launch this month promises to bring families together like never before. Priced at £269, this cutting-edge console comes with five pulse-pounding games, plus access to a vast library of over 60 titles through an annual subscription costing £90.
Nex Playground's creators claim that their system revolutionises gaming by combining physical activity and learning – making it perfect for all ages. And now, BTS is set to join the fun with its dynamic music-driven experience in Starri. By harnessing Nex Playground's revolutionary motion-tracking technology, fans will be able to get up close and personal with their favourite K-pop idols through immersive full-body gameplay.
Hybe, the masterminds behind BTS, are stoked about this groundbreaking collaboration, citing Nex Playground's unique active play platform as a fresh way for global audiences to connect with their artists. With this partnership, fans can expect an unforgettable fusion of music, movement, and magic in living rooms around the world.
While we wait with bated breath for the BTS x Nex Playground experience to drop – expectedly in line with the group's extensive 2026 and 2027 world tour – we're given a taste of things to come. The tour, which kicked off in South Korea and will soon return to the UK for two sold-out concerts at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, promises an electrifying experience that will leave fans panting for more.
