Clear your schedule — it’s time to spend hours playing Barbie games, just like you did in the early ’00s. With Atari and Digital Eclipse‘s Barbie Rewind, fans can revisit 16 Barbie games from their childhoods and engage with a new Barbie DreamHouse design game.
Available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch, Barbie Rewind encourages players to decorate Barbie’s DreamHouse with more than 250 pieces of furniture, accessories, and decor that resemble those found in real Barbie playsets. Ken, Theresa, and Christie may also swing by for some design tips. There are several rooms to fill and endless ways to decorate, so you can ignore everything in the adult world to focus on perfecting Barbie’s world.
It also features titles you know and love from 1991 through 2007. Gamers can play Barbie: Game Girl (1992), Barbie: Super Model (1993), Detective Barbie: The Mystery Cruise (2000), Barbie: Pet Rescue (2001), Barbie Horse Adventures: Blue Ribbon Race (2003), Barbie as the Island Princess (2007), and more. Fans can even play Barbie: Vacation Adventure, which was developed in 1994 but never released.
Each title has been enhanced for today’s gaming equipment while still retaining that nostalgic, cozy feeling. When you play these games, you’ll earn achievements and unlock new items for your DreamHouse!
There are a few different ways to play. Fans can secure the Standard Digital Edition ($29.99) or opt in for the Decorator’s Bundle ($39.99), which comes with a Season Pass to three upcoming DLC packs. Each themed pack features around 75 furniture and decor pieces, plus 16 total exclusive items.
If you don’t pick the Decorator’s Bundle, you can still purchase the DLC packs. The Dreamhouse Classics, Superstar Pack, and Y2K Style Pack are available for $4.99 each or all together in the Season Pass for $11.99.
Of course, Barbie knows the importance of physical media! Fans can also find physical editions for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch ($29.99). Additionally, the Nintendo Switch Deluxe Edition ($59.99) includes a numbered box, a poster, and an exclusive doll. Fans will appreciate her Atari T-shirt, washed jeans, and pink highlights.
Barbie Rewind is available at atari.com and your desired console’s app store. Pump up the inflatable chair, dim the lava lamp, grab a blue raspberry Baby Bottle Pop, and get to gaming!
