After 3 years of waiting, the Playdate is finally a reality as the first copies (which were pre-ordered in August 2021) are being shipped to their users. On the press side, we received our copy just a week ago and since then we have been having fun with this machine like no other. If we have already offered you our unboxing with our white velvet gloves, Panic has updated its official site to specify some important details for the marketing of this Playdate. First of all, it is useful to recall its concept, based on a Season to buy system. The first, included with the purchase of the portable console, has no less than 24 games in total! This is twice the initial figure that was promised during the first prototypes that we could try at PAX West 2019.

Basically, by buying the Playdate at $179 (about €164), you are guaranteed to leave with 24 games that will be downloadable over the days and weeks of use. Indeed, the principle of the games works like surprise packages that we discover at the whim of its manufacturer who sends a game at random to the player’s machine. The latter is immediately alerted by a message and the title can then be downloaded. These 24 games therefore arrive gradually, allowing the player to discover each game and its atypical gameplay based on this crank system, in addition to the usual keys. Precisely, to see more clearly in terms of games, Panic has updated the list of 24 titles from its official page. There is something for all tastes and genres, and on the developer side, there are also some we know (like Keita Takahashi, the creator of Katamari Damacy) and others who are new to video games. . The idea is therefore to trust them and appreciate what they have to offer us.
