It’s now been two years since the hotly anticipated launch of Panic’s handheld, the Playdate.
70,000 units had been sold as of February 2024, and Panic revealed a few more stats about its cranky yellow console last week, to celebrate its anniversary.
150,000 games have been sold since the March 2023 launch of the Playdate storefront, Catalog, representing $544,290 in revenue for the developers behind them. Panic’s shop featured 181 games as of April 3, 2024, plus over 800 titles available to sideload via itch.io and the likes.
