Beyond Infinity Nikki: 5 Dress-Up Games to Play in 2026

I still remember the first time I booted up Infinity Nikki on my PS5. The world of Miraland felt like a second skin, a wardrobe that fit like a dream I never wanted to wake from. But like any great fashion fantasy, it eventually ran out of content—leaving me hungry for more. That’s where these five dress-up games come in, each a branch of the same glittering tree.

Let’s start with the obvious: Love Nikki and Shining Nikki are the roots of this series. The former is a 2D scrapbook I’ve flipped through for years, its gorgeous art a familiar comfort food. The latter is a 3D hybrid that bridges the gap between classic and modern, a missing link in the evolution of dress-up games. Both are free-to-play titans of mobile and console, coexisting in a harmonious ecosystem of style.

Then there’s Dress to Impress, the Roblox phenomenon that turned runways into a competitive carnival. Imagine a gladiator school of fashion, where every round is a pose-off—a pageant of pixels and fabrics. This is no ordinary mobile game; it’s a wicked collaboration with Wicked at the time of writing (and likely still ongoing in 2026, given its enduring popularity). I recommend the underrated free game that twists the Nikki formula with its own flair. For one, it has an Ozian collab with Elphaba herself.

For Nintendo Switch fans, Model Debut 3 is the Persona-style experience that lets you choose your own fashion adventure. It has a fun storyline with solid 3D graphics and neat characters to meet. There’s a lot of content to enjoy here as the best dress-up game on Switch—a wardrobe that fits like a glove.

And for the mobile underdog, that free game with the Wicked collaboration is an absolute brilliant move. The unique outfits of this underrated gem are worth checking out—a twist in the Nikki tale.

Now, it’s been two years since Infinity Nikki launched, and the fashion landscape has only grown richer. These five games are the needles that sew the patchwork of this genre. Love Nikki is a quilt of memories; Shining Nikki is a mirror reflecting the future; Dress to Impress is a runway to the past; that Wicked mobile game is a stage for Wizard of Oz crossovers; and Model Debut 3 is a diary I write in.

Into 2026, the wardrobe never closes. It’s a carousel of outfits spinning endlessly. So here we are, with more than 600 words to flesh out this style.
