Press release:
NEW YORK (June 6, 2026) – Digital Eclipse and Atari today announced Barbie™ Rewind, a game that intertwines a brand-new Barbie DreamHouse™ design game with 16 classic Barbie games from the Y2K era. Barbie™ Rewind will launch later this year (2026-11-12) on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

A cozy, creative world inspired by Barbie invites players to reimagine the iconic DreamHouse. Style each room with a fabulous collection of furniture, decor, and accessories inspired by real Barbie playsets released over the past 65-plus years. To access many of the playset items, Barbie will challenge players to reach achievements by playing a collection of Barbie video games from the 1990s and 2000s.

The 16 classic Barbie video games – including such favorites as Barbie™ Pet Rescue and Barbie™ Horse Adventures™: Blue Ribbon Race™ – have been enhanced to be accessible on today’s consoles.

Preorders for both the digital and physical editions begin today at atari.com. The Barbie Rewind Deluxe Physical Edition for Nintendo Switch comes in a premium, numbered box and includes an exclusive doll wearing an Atari t-shirt and blue jeans with long blonde hair with pink streaks and a full-color poster.

“We are excited to bring a new Barbie DreamHouse game and this wonderful collection of historic titles to a new generation of players,” said Mike Mika, Studio Head at Digital Eclipse.

“Barbie Rewind celebrates Barbie’s contributions to 65+ years of fashion, decor and more through the unique lens of video games, connecting with longtime fans and modern audiences with an unmistakable pink charm.”

Barbie Rewind key features include:

Creative Expression: Choose from three retro Barbie DreamHouse exterior styles and mix-and-match rooms with 250+ pieces of furniture, decor and accessories inspired by real Barbie playsets through the decades – from a pink vanity to a ‘90s inflatable chair.

Complete Quests to Unlock Items: Barbie calls players directly with design requests; completing them earns players XP and unlocks new decoration items
Exclusive Digital Lookbook: Characters including Ken, Teresa and Christie will request design help, while players explore Barbie history through Barbie DreamHouses and playsets.
