Survive Bullworth Academy one prank at a time
Bully Anniversary Edition is an adventure game. It is Rockstar’s cheeky and clever twist on the open-world genre, swapping crime-ridden cities for the chaotic corridors of a private boarding school.
In Bully Anniversary Edition, you play as Jimmy Hopkins, a rebellious teen who’s been dumped at Bullworth Academy, a place where bullies rule, teachers are corrupt, and no one escapes drama. Over the course of the academic year, Jimmy tries to climb the school’s social ladder, navigate its cliques, and take control of a system that seems determined to crush him.
From nerd to legend
Bully Anniversary Edition blends classic Rockstar gameplay with a schoolyard twist. Instead of guns, you’ll use slingshots, firecrackers, and pranks. Missions involve everything from helping nerds fight jocks to sabotaging rival students or sneaking around after curfew. Along the way, you’ll attend quirky classes like Chemistry, English, and Gym, each with its own minigame. These classes don’t just serve as distractions—they unlock new abilities and gear.
This edition includes content from the Scholarship Edition, with additional missions, characters, and minigames. Visually, the game has been upgraded for mobile with high-resolution textures, improved lighting, and particle effects. It looks crisp and colorful on modern devices, and Rockstar has added intuitive touch controls that adjust depending on what you’re doing. Physical controller support is also included for players who prefer a traditional setup.
What sets Bully apart is its writing and tone. The game walks a fine line between satire and sincerity. Jimmy is a misfit, but one with a heart, and his journey through the madness of adolescence feels surprisingly grounded. The supporting cast—from the uptight headmaster to the various cliques—adds a lot of charm and personality to the world. However, combat mechanics can feel a bit dated.
Experience teenage rebellion
Bully: Anniversary Edition offers a unique and humorous open-world experience set in a high school. It blends classic Rockstar mechanics with mischievous schoolyard antics, creating a charming mix of chaos and character. Attending classes, pranking students, and navigating teenage drama is both entertaining and engaging. With updated visuals and expanded content, it’s a nostalgic yet fresh ride. The variety of missions, witty writing, and lovable characters make it a standout.
