Titans of the Tides is the latest in SpongeBob’s long run of video games that started with 2001’s SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula. The last few years have given us several SpongeBob video games, including 2024’s The Patrick Star Game, which saw SpongeBob’s pal take the starring role in his own 3D platformer on Nintendo Switch. You can grab it while it’s on sale for just $18 (was $40).
Other notable SpongeBob games worth checking out before Titans of the Tides include Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, which is an enhanced remake for PS4, Switch, and Xbox One of the fan-favorite action-platformer that originally launched on the PS2, GameCube, and Xbox in 2003. It got a spiritual successor in 2023 with SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Switch, which you can grab for $25. For a break from all these 3D platformers, Switch fans can also check out the SpongeBob-themed cooking and puzzle game, Kustry Cook-Off Extra Kustry Edition.
Titan of the Tides isn’t the only game SpongeBob is appearing in this year. He’ll also be a playable character in the family-friendly action RPG Nicktoons Dice of Destiny, which sees iconic Nickelodeon characters joining forces for an epic quest. Preorders are open ahead of its September 30 release, and you’ll find a Collector’s Edition that’s packed with collectibles like trading cards, dice, and a travel pouch.
