Minecraft becomes Bikini Bottom today with SpongeBob SquarePants DLC

Add as a preferred source on Google

Who lives in a pixelated pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants! The nautical star of Nickelodeon’s longest-running animated series and his friends have come to Minecraft in a new DLC pack.

Mojang released the SpongeBob SquarePants DLC on Tuesday, made possible by a collaboration with Nickelodeon and Spark Universe. The new DLC gives fans of both Minecraft and SpongeBob access to various Bikini Bottom locales for them to explore and the skins of over 40 SpongeBob characters created by Spark Universe.

The SpongeBob SquarePants DLC was created as an immersive experience for fans who always wondered what it would be like to eat at the Krusty Krab, take boating lessons at Mrs. Puff’s Boating School, practice science and karate with Sandy, run around Jellyfish Fields, and even surf some waves at the Goo Lagoon. You can either play as your avatar donning an aquanaut — air helmet and all — or as any of your SpongeBob characters, ranging from Sandy to Bubble Buddy to Mermaid Man.

As you traverse through Bikini Bottom, you’ll pick up collectibles and items that are integral to your mission to make everyone’s day the best day ever. You’ll be tasked with crafting an instrument for Squidward to help fulfill his dream of performing on the Oyster Stage, fending off a school of hungry anchovies from the Krusty Krab by slinging Krabby Patties into their bellies, helping Patrick with his DIY building projects, and stopping Plankton from taking over the city (and possibly stealing the Krabby Patty formula).

You’ll also be able to recreate some of the best scenes from the series, some of which have already turned into memes. You can build a statue of SpongeGar with his confused look, or a meme of an overwhelmed Mr. Krabs surrounded by angry Pretty Patties customers.

You can download the SpongeBob SquarePants DLC from the Minecraft marketplace onto a platform of your choice. Whether you play on PS5 or Nintendo Switch, you can have the best day ever.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
