The famous Atari games brand returns to the forefront with a brand new portable console. The latter will be officially unveiled at CES 2025. Atari, a household name in the 1970s, has had its ups and downs. In recent years, the company has focused on leveraging its extensive library of classic games. This strategy includes re-releasing popular old models like the Atari 400 and Atari 2600, capitalizing on the nostalgia of veteran gamers, similar to the relaunch of the Infogrames brand.
Building on this success, Atari is launching a brand new console which is not a remake of a previous model. This innovative device will debut at CES 2025, the major annual electronics and technology show. On social media platforms, Atari released a short teaser in collaboration with MyArcade, a company specializing in retro games. The console is called “Atari GameStation Go”.
Main Features and Release Information
It was initially presented at CES 2024 with a release date planned for the end of the same year. However, it appears there was a slight delay. This new portable console promises a diverse selection of official Atari games from its extensive catalog. Unlike traditional consoles that only feature directional pads and buttons, the Atari GameStation Go features unique controls found on some classic Atari controllers: a joystick, number pad, and trackball. This feature set allows compatibility with a wide range of games from Atari’s history.
Specifications and future plans
At CES 2024, details were shared about the console’s specifications, including a 7-inch high-resolution display, rechargeable battery, and HDMI connectivity. These characteristics should be confirmed or clarified in the coming days.
