Atari is set to make a splash at CES 2025 with its portable gaming console, Gamestation Go, which aims to bring its legendary name back into the console world. Developed in collaboration with My Arcade, this device combines modern features with nostalgic elements, appealing to both retro enthusiasts and the new generation of gamers. Here are the details and everything you need to know…
What does Atari Gamestation Go offer?
The promotional video revealed some initial details about the console, such as its design and connectivity options. Features like HDMI output, a headphone jack, a microSD card slot, and two USB-C ports stand out. The console also includes unique control mechanisms, such as a trackball and numeric keypad, offering a nostalgic experience for classic Atari games while maintaining versatility for modern gameplay.
The video also highlights backlit buttons on the console, with rumors suggesting that only the necessary buttons will light up depending on the game being played. This feature aims to enhance the user experience in both modern and retro games, making it easier and more functional to play in dark environments.
Details about Gamestation Go’s technical specifications, pricing, and release date are yet to be disclosed. However, the official reveal at CES 2025 is expected to answer these questions. With the Atari GameStation Pro previously launching with over 200 games (Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, and Arcade titles), expectations are high for this new portable model to offer a similarly extensive game library.
