Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

If the popular children’s TV series Bluey has become a must-watch television programme and source of entertainment for the younger viewers in your home, we have some very exciting news. Sure to bring about squeals of joy among young fans of Bluey and the gang, the first ever Bluey video game is set to be released in November.

Based on the Australian TV series, which is available to watch in the UK and around the world on Disney+, the video game will follow the adventures, fun and games of the anthropomorphised family of dogs based in and around their Brisbane home, with characters including six-year-old Bluey the pup, her parents and her younger sister Bingo.

Bluey: The videogame will be released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC, and will be priced at £34.99. Ahead of its official launch on 17 November, it’s available to pre-order now for Nintendo Switch, Playstation 5, Playstation 4 now and Xbox series X.

In the meantime, the trailer, featuring the family of pups having fun in and around their neighbourhood, at their home, at the beach and on a trip to the park, gives us a sneak preview of what to expect.

The game has been described by the developers as a “sandbox adventure”, where players can expect to enter the Bluey universe with up to three friends – as Bluey, her parents Bandit and Chilli, or her sister Bingo. Fans of the show will also recognise familiar games, such as “magic xylophone” and “keepy uppy”, from the TV series. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming Bluey video game.
