For those who grew up in the noughties and the Internet's earlier years, Neopets was one of several popular online destinations for kids. You may be surprised to learn the virtual pet site is still very much alive, and more than that, it's got a PS5 game coming very soon.
Yes, you'll soon be able to play Neopets: Mega Mini Games Collection - The Neopian Arcade Odyssey, a needlessly wordy title for what is a compilation of the browser game's arcadey distractions.
Arriving on 26th March 2026, the game comprises 25 remastered minigames "from the golden age of Neopets", all remastered and "optimised" for controllers. In addition, there's one original minigame, Starlight Symphony, giving old fans something totally new to experience.

There are Arcade, Challenge, and Endless modes to enjoy, and a whole bunch of unlockable goodies to earn as you play each minigame.
Trophy hunters will be pleased to learn there's also a platinum gong to aim for, as revealed in the recently published Trophy list.
Perhaps surprisingly, this is being made available physically as well as digitally.
If we're being honest with ourselves, most of these minigames are probably gonna be kinda bad, but there's definitely some nostalgic charm to this.

This is genuinely gonna review so poorly because these games aren’t anything more than flash minigames.
However that doesn’t matter, this is for Neopets fans and people that grew up with Neopets. And I’m all for preservation of flash games.
Never heard of it
Brings me back to my childhood where I had a Christmas Lupin, then let it play with a toy not knowing it would change it into a plain ass bird.
I've never heard of these and have been going out of my way to read books about 90's toys/games. The article title made me think Tamagotchi. But I've never played a flash game either, the collection seems well put together. Nice art too and it's great to see other game types being preserved.
Never heard of it
So there's hope we could get the recently remastered Kong Studios website / games now?
Cool for gorillaz fans - Damon, make it so on consoles 🤣
Also; I'm 42 and never heard of neopets, so are we talking like 30 year old people for this collection?
holy mf childhood of the 2000s ! 😭😭😭 looks around
Neopets my Goat! 😭❤️😭
I remember that I played neopets a bunch as a kid, but I don't actually remember anything about it. Beyond just seeing the word "neopets", I don't think these minigames would trigger any nostalgia in me so there's no value to be found for me. If I had a better memory, this would be neat just for the hell of it.
Im in my early 30's and neopetz passdd me by completely. I remember first hearing about it froma youtube video about forgotten brands.
Kind of excited for this. Neopets was my first brush with the UK - my account (which I still go on daily!) was created in August 2001 - I was 11. And now Neopets is American based.. but here I am 10 years living in the UK. Can't wait for this!
For anyone who wants to come back - Neopets is still active! Lots of people complain but honestly - the company's gone indie in the last few years, the complainers are hardcore players, and you don't have to spend a penny. It's still fun
@Ludacritz brutal
All I remember about neopets was that monkey volleyball game. I’d probably pick this up on sale to play that.
Target audience. 🎯
LET'S GOOOOO!!
