About

Bully came out on October 17, 2006 for PlayStation 2, then for PlayStation 4 on March 22, 2016. The main story takes about 16 hours, doing everything about 27 hours.

As a mischievous schoolboy, you’ll stand up to bullies, get picked on by teachers, play pranks, win or lose the girl, and ultimately learn to navigate the obstacles of the worst school around, Bullworth Academy - a corrupt and crumbling prep school with an uptight facade.

What is happening now

Bully is an action-adventure game set in a school environment, offering an open-world experience that stands apart from typical sandbox titles. Originally released in 2006, the game has remained available across multiple PlayStation generations. Two decades after launch, the game continues to draw attention for its distinctive design. Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser recently reflected on the title's enduring uniqueness within the open-world genre, underscoring how its school-based setting and mechanics differentiated it from the studio's other franchises at the time. The game's premise - navigating the social and physical challenges of adolescence - remains a defining characteristic that has aged differently than more conventional sandbox games.
