Playdate maker Panic has revealed that it has successfully shipped 70,000 units of the adorable yellow handheld – and it has a limited amount of stock ready to ship right now.

"After a lot of hard work and logistics, Panic is thrilled to announce that they have caught up to all Playdate pre-orders and that a limited number of Playdates are currently available for purchase at shop.play.date," says the company. "Going forward, Panic will notify the public when Playdates are in-stock and ready to ship. Customers will still be able to place an order for a Playdate when it is out of stock, but will be notified that their order won’t ship until Panic has a new batch of Playdates ready to ship."

The company has also announced two new games – Pullfrog: Playdate Deluxe and Oom – will hit the system's online store on February 20th. It has also revealed that a new Panic’s Playdate Update is coming soon, and will outline more titles for 2024.
