Two of the biggest things in a young child’s world, rescue pups and dinosaurs, are teaming up. Paw Patrol Dino World is an open-world adventure that sends the PAW Patrol to a dinosaur island, and it is built with families in mind. It launches on July 31, 2026 across PC and consoles. So for parents hunting a gentle game to share, this one is worth a look.
Paw Patrol Dino World sends the pups to a dinosaur island
Paw Patrol Dino World is an action-adventure game from developer 3DClouds and publisher Outright Games. The story is classic Saturday-morning stuff. Dinosaurs from Dino Island are frightened and running loose because Mayor Humdinger keeps stirring up trouble, so the pups set out to rescue them before a volcano erupts. It releases July 31, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch, and a Switch 2 edition follows in October. Retail listings put it around $39.99, so you can already find it on Steam.
An open world built for young players to explore
Unlike many licensed kids games, this one offers a proper open world. You take on rescue missions from the PAW Patrol headquarters, play as favorites like Chase, Marshall, and Skye, and use each pup’s unique skills to clear obstacles. There is also plenty to do beyond the main quests. For example, you can find dinosaur eggs, care for the dinos at a dedicated center, decorate their enclosures, and unlock accessories for your pup and vehicle. A set of minigames then rounds things out.
Visually, the art stays close to the TV show, with bright colors and rounded, friendly character models. The island splits into themed areas too, from sandy shores to jungles and glowing crystal caves inside a volcano. Full voice-over and on-screen guidance, such as paw prints that point the way, keep it easy for the youngest players. The biggest draw, though, is the two-player split-screen co-op, which makes Paw Patrol Dino World an easy game for a parent and child to enjoy together.
