The game was released on October 4, 2024, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows. GameplayThe Patrick Star Game is a third-person physics-based sandbox game where players can up almost anything and interact with almost everything in the world of Bikini Bottom as they can pick up hammers, bash through buildings, leaf blowers loaded with fruits to fire at targets, and giant magnets to swing heavy objects around. Players can also complete tasks to earn sand dollars and unlock costumes. There are also minigames and quests players can play and complete in the game; each quest would give the player sand dollars. PlotAfter waking up from his dream, Patrick is ready to start his day. He goes around Bikini Bottom completing various missions such as playing with Gary at the park, skydiving with Sandy, finding golden gloves that Spongebob hid around Glove World, finding treasure for Plankton, competing in a contest with Squidward, taking part in a demolition derby, and finding King Jellyfish's missing babies. The final mission involves Patrick taking part in the Fry Cook Games to defend the Chum Bucket's honor at the request of Plankton. Once this is done, Patrick goes to dance onstage as the end credits play.

IGN gave the game a 5/10, calling the game "a simple physics-based adventure that lacks the heart to make a splash".[5] The PC Version was rated a 65 and the Xbox Series X was rated a 66 on Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[6] Daniel Waite of Movie Games and Tech gave a positive review on the game, rating it an 8/10, writing "Replay value and longevity are at an all-time high. There are many mayo jars to collect and plenty of missions to complete. Furthermore, you can redo quests if you like or explore Bikini Bottom at your own pace. Either way, there is plenty to see and do in this child-friendly game."[7] References
