About this product

Playdate is a tiny, bright-yellow handheld game system from Panic, designed in partnership with Teenage Engineering. Its standout features are a sharp black-and-white reflective screen that needs no backlight and a fold-out crank that works as an analog controller. Rather than a huge library, it delivers a quirky, curated experience: after setup it receives new games on a weekly schedule as part of its first season, giving you a steady stream of short and long games to try.

Who it's for: curious teens and adults, indie-game fans and tinkerers (the SDK supports Lua and C).

Compatibility: a standalone handheld; charges over USB-C and includes the USB-C to A cable and a user guide.
