Playdate Season 2 Drop: Panic’s Tiny Handheld Gets More Meme-Worthy Games

Panic announces the second season of Playdate games, set to reveal new titles, pricing, and how to pre-order on April 17.

Hey there, fellow button mashers and screen tappers! Panic’s about to spill the beans on Playdate’s Season 2, and trust me, you don’t wanna miss this. Circle April 17 at 1PM ET / 10AM PT in your planner—that’s when the magic happens at the Playdate Update shindig. We’re talking juicy details on the devs behind the games, how to get your hands on a pre-order, and, yeah, the damage to your wallet (because let’s face it, gaming is an expensive hobby).

Flashback to when Playdate first waltzed onto the scene with its weekly game surprises? Pure gold. Sure, there were a few hiccups (battery life, we’re side-eyeing you), but Panic’s bouncing back with Season 2, ready to prove they’re still the kings of quirky. And get this—they’ve already banked over a million for developers and moved 70K of these adorable handhelds. Just a little FYI: the price tag’s now sitting pretty at $229, so maybe skip that extra avocado toast this week.

Whether you’re here for the games or just to show off your indie street cred, make sure you’re glued to Panic’s site or YouTube on April 17. Let’s see if Season 2 can top the meme-worthy madness of the first round. Game on!
