We're pleased to announce the release of the Bubsy 4D soundtrack and art book!
Jam out to the Bubsy 4D soundtrack with 15 tracks of pawsitively funky beats by Fat Bard, then browse the 83-page digital art book!
If you already own Bubsy 4D, you can also get a slight discount as part of the "Digital Pawsome Edition" bundle.
The Bubsy 4D soundtrack is also available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and other major streaming platforms!
Ensuring Bubsy's bowel movements are consistent and no longer occasionally cause softlocks when using the Scenic Pooper ability.
Educating Bubsy that even bobcats need to obey the laws of physics to ensure you no longer float to the heavens if you use the Item Sniffer ability under certain conditions.
Bubsy no longer points at the Golden Fleece when using the Item Sniffer ability, because quite frankly that's just usless ain't it?
Tank mode is no longer OP (yes, really) by allowing you to infinitely glitch up walls.
Telling Bubsy to keep it cool after pouncing enemies and not immediatelly clamber up subsequent walls like a madcat.
You're no longer kicked out of hairball after sometime in the air when using the held Hairball input variant. Bet that sentence was never said before!
The Twirl Jump visual effects no longer stick around like a unwanted fart when triggered under certain conditions
We thought it'd be cool if you can see where you're aiming at in glass canons when the grounding visualizer is turned on. We're nice like that.
Told our cameraman, Lackey Two, to stop pointing at the sky when doing large jumps in Hairball form. Guess he's a astrology hobbyist or something I dunno.
Angling the camera all the way down on terrain no longer makes it stutter. I swear our cameraman, Lackey Two, can be a handful sometimes.
The Ampelman no longer ticks you off, literally, if you reset it *just* when it ran out of time.
Resetting the tape measure challenge no longer resets you above a pit of death sometimes. I thought it was kinda funny tbh but the team said it's "bad game design".
I can't believe I have to say this but we made sure the glass blocks always act like glass and not solid concrete sometimes when shooting through them.
You won't reset right above water anymore when falling off the cat trees in Planet 1, Level 4. But also, did you try to just... Not fall?
Tweaking water height in Planet 3 Level 2 to stop Bubsy occasionally from respawning and dying continuosly in an endless cycle until the heat death of the universe.
Getting killed by a skating Woolie (skill issue) during Baarbee's chasing phase no longer softlocks the entire fight.
Slow-mo can't get stuck anymore if you do a very specific set of actions during Baarbee's fight. We're not in the Matrix here, okay?
Baaptiste ain't no shy sheep and he no longer appears invisible if you retry his fight after dying to him at specific points in time.
Projectiles and other attacks now get properly despawned when "Skip Cutscenes" is enabled during boss fights. Everyone press F to pay respects to all those Nine Lives modes lost...
Trigger happy folk won't be able to softlock the shop menu anymore. Everyone chill out!
Fixed moveset entries not properly displaying RTL instead of LTR. NP, GG OK?
Resetting and confirming input bindings at the same time no longer leads to a softlock. How did anyone discover this? Troll-like behavior.
Fixing Playstation inputs not displaying in the title screen. We don't wanna be called biased to a certain controller here.
You can no longer delete a save that is currently active. Your 567th nine life attempt will now be less confusing to reset!
You can now rebind inputs like shift/control, y'know, like it's supposed to.
Fixed some Chinese characters appearing without the bold font. BOLD EVERY TIME, ALL THE TIME.
Fixed some instances where Arabic letters didn't properly connect. We're all in this together!
Fixed a typo where Bubsy misspells "opinion". But in MY oppinion this feels better.
Fixed a typo where Bubsy says "wih" instead of "with". Now THAT'S some high quality patch note material.
Adjusted one translated french word which the age rating police wouldn't have liked. Nope, nope.
Added some more people to the credits. I'll be real, I have no idea how to write something funny about this.
Fixed uncapped framerates causing crashes for some players by removing the uncapped option. Sorry fps maxxers, 120's gotta be the cap for meow! (Note, with vsync you can still go higher than 120 if your monitor refresh rate allows it)
Fixed numerous Crowd Control issues. We want this mode to be chaotic but not THAT chaotic, geez.
You can also view the patch notes here.
Celebrate the launch of Bubsy 4D with an all-new plush of Bubsy in his Hairball form from the new game.
This exceptionally “round boi” version of Bubsy is inflated to 12 inches in diameter, ready to roll, bounce, or cuddle through any obstacle. He wears an adorable, yet disgruntled expression and is dressed in Bubsy’s signature white blazer and red tie from Bubsy 4D. This plush is packed to the seams with 100% PP cotton and is made of the softest minky material.
The concept for this plush was designed by Youtooz community member Icey!
Please note: Atari.com only ships this item to the US
My agent just told me to post this picture and announce my reddit AMA tomorrow! Y'know, I kinda forgot I had an agent considering he hasn't called me in YEARS...

Fur-well,
Bubsy & the Atari PR team
Atari and independent game studio Fabraz today announced that my new game, Bubsy 4D will launch on May 22, 2026, for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, Windows and GOG, PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, and Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Xbox Play Anywhere for $19.99. Pre-orders begin today on atari.com for a physical collector’s edition of Bubsy 4D for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. The physical edition, which includes a game cartridge, tuck-in exterior box, user manual, poster and artbook, for $39.99 on Nintendo Switch and $49.99 on Nintendo Switch 2, has a street date of May 22.
Bubsy 4D marks the return of everyone’s fur-vorite bobcat mascot in my first 3D adventure since 1996, bringing you a colorful and expressive platformer that blends nostalgic charm with modern movement mechanics and my furmidable sense of humor.
“Get ready for the comeback you never saw coming,” said Bubsy T. Bobcat. “It’s no secret that I’ve got a questionable track record, but Atari and Fabraz are determined to give me the game I’ve always deserved. This time, my claws are out and I’m ready to show off.”
In Bubsy 4D, I’m on a mission to take back the Golden Fleece from those nasty BaaBots who snatched it right out of my paws. I’ll run, jump, glide and roll across alien planets with platforming purrfection, tackling vibrant fabric- and craft-themed levels, with each planet ending in a BaaBot boss battle. Dress me up in stylish new outfits, collect hidden blueprints to unlock new moves and race against other players’ ghost data in online time trials. Along the way, I’ll reunite with furmiliar friends like Terri, Terry, Virgil and Oblivia - all to a pawsitively funky soundtrack by Fat Bard.

Speaking of "purrfect" games, Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection is on sale this week if you're in the mood for more of your favorite wisecracking bobcat, and let's be honest, who isn't?

Mascot platformers can be defined by their voice performers. Charles Martinet as Mario and Roger Craig Smith as Sonic, to name the two most prolific examples. From the first sound bites of Sean Chiplock as our wise-cracking feline hero, it was immediately clear that he was our Bubsy; The near-universally positive response since the announcement further punctuated that feeling. So to round out our streak of Bubsy podcasts, Sean was gracious enough to join me and Sam Brown (Atari Release Manager and Producer on Bubsy 4D) to talk about his journey to becoming a voice actor and what it was like to step into the role of our (in)famous Bobcat.
Wishlist Bubsy 4D:
As we covered in the last episode, Bubsy has had an interesting past, to say the least. Now, however, we're looking forward with the announcement of Bubsy 4D. Yes, we had the audacity to make a sequel to Bubsy 3D, and by "we," I mean everyone gathered on this podcast: Fabian Rastorfer (Co-founder and co-lead at Fabraz), Ben Miller (Co-founder and co-lead at Fabraz), and Sam Brown (Atari Release Manager and Producer on Bubsy 4D). We talk about how this all came to be and walk through some of the early levels of the recently announced title.
