The Atari 2600, which was one of the first modern consoles when it was released 46 years ago in 1977, is making a comeback. Atari and publisher Plaion have announced the Atari 2600+, which is described as a “modern-day faithful recreation” of the iconic console.
The Atari 2600+ launches on November 17, 2023 around the world, and preorders are now available for $130 USD.
The system comes with 10 of Atari’s most famous games loaded onto one cartridge, including Adventure and Missile Command. It also supports any Atari 2600 or 7800 game cartridges that you might already own. It was designed using “modern technology” and includes the system’s iconic CX40 joystick built with the same size and layout.
