If you are shopping for a preschool-friendly open-world tonight, the Xbox launch trailer is not a tease. PAW Patrol: Dino World is out now on Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Outright Games publishes, 3DClouds develops, and the Xbox Store lists it at $39.99.
What the launch trailer actually shows
The official Xbox clip is a 79-second launch spot: Marshall, Chase, Skye, and the rest of the pack on Dino Island, local co-op, pup/vehicle/dino customization, and four named regions (Dino Plains, the Shores, the Jungle, the Volcano). Mayor Humdinger is the chaos engine. The store pages add the mission loop the trailer only skims: egg hunts, Paleo Center care with Heidi and Eugenia, vehicle mode in the jungle, and a volcano finale with Rex and Timmy.
Xbox's own trailer description puts the shipping status in plain text:
PAW Patrol Dino World is OUT NOW! Inspired by the world of the PAW Patrol Dino Movie, this open-world video game invites families on an adventure across Dino Island to rescue dinosaurs and stop Mayor Humdinger's latest scheme.
That is from the official Xbox YouTube launch trailer.
Platforms, co-op, and what is not on day one
| Platform | Status |
|---|---|
| Nintendo Switch | Out now (July 31, 2026) |
| PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5 | Out now |
| Xbox Series X | S |
| PC (Steam) | Out now ($39.99) |

Xbox lists 2-player local co-op / shared split-screen, single player, cloud saves, and achievements. Steam and console pages mirror the same pup roster: Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky, and Zuma, with pup-pack tools for each (ball launcher, water cannon, wings, and so on).
Movie timing vs game story
Outright Games framed the title as an original Dino Island story inspired by Season 13 and the upcoming PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie (theatrical window listed for August 2026 in the April announce). That detail matters for parents: the game is a companion adventure, not a beat-for-beat movie interactive.
