Atari Gamestation Go Launches October 24 With 200+ Games

Atari has officially announced the release date and price for its Gamestation Go, a handheld retro console developed in partnership with hardware company My Arcade. The device will arrive on October 24, 2025, priced at $179.99, and is now available for pre-order through GameStop and Atari’s official website. The news comes almost two years after the handheld was first revealed, with the company confirming that it will include more than 200 built-in games.

The Gamestation Go aims to serve as both a portable device and a home console. It comes with a seven-inch color display, designed to present the collection of classic games in sharper quality than ever before. For players who prefer a larger screen, the handheld includes an HDMI output, allowing the games to be played on televisions. Alongside its traditional buttons and analog sticks, the Gamestation Go features specialized inputs such as a paddle controller and a keypad, opening the door for a range of retro titles that originally used unique arcade-style hardware.

Among the confirmed games are Pac-Man, Asteroids: Recharged, Missile Command, Centipede: Recharged, and Breakout, which makes use of the included paddle controller. While the full library of titles has not yet been revealed, Atari has confirmed that it partnered with Jaleco and PIKO Interactive to round out the list of 200+ games. These publishers bring additional retro offerings beyond Atari’s own catalog, which, while extensive, would not have been enough to fill the system’s lineup on its own.

The inclusion of the keypad has led to speculation that the Gamestation Go may include games originally released on platforms like the Intellivision, although this has not been officially confirmed. Atari has stated that some of its own games also make use of the keypad, but the device’s design suggests a broader set of applications. For those who prefer more modern control schemes, the handheld also provides standard input options, ensuring that a wide range of players can enjoy the collection comfortably.

The re-reveal of the Gamestation Go earlier this year signaled Atari’s renewed focus on retro-inspired hardware, a market it has consistently engaged with through its collaborations with My Arcade and other partners. The device represents an attempt to merge nostalgia with modern features, giving long-time fans of classic arcade experiences a chance to revisit them in a more accessible form. At the same time, it introduces a new generation of players to games that helped define the early days of the industry.

With its October release approaching, Atari is expected to confirm more of the included titles in the coming weeks. The company has emphasized that the Gamestation Go is designed to showcase both its own legacy and the work of other retro publishers, giving players access to a wide variety of classic arcade and console experiences. For those who want a handheld system that can also function as a home console, the Gamestation Go offers both portability and the ability to connect to larger screens.

At $179.99, the device sits in the mid-range price bracket for retro-inspired consoles. Its library of over 200 games, combined with unique control options and HDMI support, positions it as one of Atari’s most ambitious hardware releases in recent years. With pre-orders already live, players will not have to wait long to see whether the Gamestation Go can successfully blend retro nostalgia with modern convenience when it launches on October 24, 2025.
