Atari 2600+ release date, pre-order & latest news
Old is new again. This is the Atari 2600+, a newly revamped version of the original 1980 Atari 2600 home console with lots of new bells and whistles to bring it into the modern age.
Set to launch in November this year, the Atari 2600+ will be a «faithful recreation» of the classic Atari 2600 from Atari and Plaion.
Plenty of popular games from the system's heyday will feature, including Adventure, Video Pinball, Missile Command and more.
Essentially, it's set to recreate the same '70s and '80s feel that helped make the original a success.

According to Atari's official website, shipping will begin in November 2023, so any orders made ahead of time should (in theory) receive their Atari 2600+ in time for launch day.
The Atari 2600+ is available to pre-order in the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Poland, Benelux, Slovenia and Italy.
