Bobo Bay Brings Nostalgic Fun to Pet Simulation

Bobo Bay creature-collecting pet simulation game is coming to Steam Deck and Linux via Windows PC. Thanks to the creative minds at NewFutureKids, Bobo Bay for offering endless ways to play. Working to find its way onto Steam. Hold onto your RGB keyboards, Linux players — Bobo Bay is diving headfirst into Steam’s Creature Collector Fest, and it's got all the cozy chaos we’ve been craving. If you've ever dreamed of raising a weird little friend, slapping a top hat on its head, and watching it zoom past the competition in a neon-lit race, then this is your moment. Made by the indie devs at NewFutureKids, Bobo Bay isn’t just another creature-collecting pet simulation — it’s a nostalgia-fueled tribute to the days of raising creatures in secret gardens (looking at you, Chao fans). But this one is cranked up with modern flair, native support looming, and a LOT more hats. Yeah, I said hats. Thousands of Bobo combinations, from shimmering body sheens to quirky personality traits, will make your collection feel uniquely yours.

I know it works great on Steam Deck, but have not tried to build a specific Linux version yet.

NewFutureKids also mentioned, "I'm not opposed to it," in response to a question about Linux support — promising news. Especially since they’re already talking about Steam Deck compatibility for this Unity-based title. With the full release for Bobo Bay  is coming in 2026, there's still plenty of time to make native support happen. Here’s the vibe: You collect these adorable (and occasionally unhinged) little creatures called Bobos. Which you are due to breed them to perfection, and train them to become the ultimate champions. Think racing. Imagine battling. Think drama. Every Bobo is different—body color, eyes, parts, patterns—and the way they grow and perform depends on how you raise them. Will your Bobo be a lovable clutz or a cold-eyed champion? That’s up to you.

Bobo Bay the ULTIMATE Chao Garden Spiritual Successor

The heart of Bobo Bay is its competitions. These aren’t your typical mini-games—they’re full-on events sponsored by in-game companies and global orgs. Doing so complete with exclusive prizes and juicy bragging rights. The races happen in a brand-new, squeaky-clean sports complex, where your Bobos get to show off everything they’ve learned. And here’s where it gets spicy: if you manage to defeat a Bobo Star—a rare, legendary Bobo—you unlock a sapling of that species for your collection. Yeah, it’s that kind of title. One that rewards you for going all-in. When you’re not racing, you can stroll through the cozy little town, buy new gear for your Bobos, visit the Town Hall to see your competition history, or just vibe under the stars. Some shops even open only at night — so keep an eye on the clock. Time and date matter in Bobo Bay, and some events are only available once a week. Miss it, and you’ll be kicking yourself until next Tuesday. And hey, good news for us Linux players: the Bobo Bay Alpha is out on Steam if you want to try it via Proton on Steam Deck. While a full release coming in Q2 2026. So, whether you’re a hardcore collector, a stat-min-maxing breeder, or just here to dress your Bobo like a tiny punk rocker, this creature-collecting pet simulation is ready to steal your heart and a lot of your free time. So what are you waiting for? Grab a Bobo, name it something ridiculous, and let the training montage begin.

My collection 002:

Lego TBH/autism creature!

I built this lil' guy during holidays so I gave him ear warmers. He's so precious. ♡

I am aware lego builds are more temporary assets of my collection, but I still want to showcase them.

Maybe I make an archive chategory for things that used to be in my collection but no longer are, such as old lego builds that have been taken apart in the meantime.
