The Evercade range has grown considerably during the past 12 months, with new cartridges and hardware hitting store shelves at a rapid pace during 2024.
We've seen Tomb Raider, Soul Reaver and the Evercade Alpha, but it wasn't all positive news—we were also informed that the retail price of Evercade carts would be seeing a slight rise, moving from £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99 to £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99 for the standard carts and £22.49 / $24.99 / €24.99 to £24.99 / $29.99 / €29.99 for the larger capacity Giga carts.
According to Evercade maker Blaze, this price rise is due to "increasing costs and demand for materials and international transport" and will come into force on January 30th, 2025.
However, Funstock Games, Blaze's official retail channel, has announced that it is freezing cart prices for a little longer: April 1st, to be precise.
"Until April 1st, whilst stocks last - current Evercade carts will be available at the 2024 prices," says the retailer.
If you have a couple of gaps in your collection and want to fill them at the best possible price, now might be the time to pick up those outstanding Evercade carts.

I’m done with Evercade. Their quality control is way below anything I’ve ever seen. Bringing back physical retrogames is a neat idea but not when so many carts fail of crash. It’s just not durable. Even tye EXP is terrible as the battery just stops working, the screen is subpar and the freezes are plain weird.
Even Chinese emulation handhelds have better quality. Carts are also becoming too expensive.
Sounds like you've been unlucky there @Koekiemonster. I've had nothing but a brilliant time with my Evercade across the various formats and never experienced any freezes or crashes.
I think it's unfair to compare the Evercade to a Chinese handheld too because whilst they're fun, they are entirely based on illegal Roms.
Of course, I appreciate your position and I imagine I'd be singing a different tune if I'd experienced faulty carts and crashes but for now, I'm more than happy with the Evercade and am looking forward to what they release in 2025.
@RossoftheRobots I've also had several carts fail and had to send them back as well as many, many hard crashes which require a reboot of the EXP. Evercade quality just isn't where it should be.
@koekiemonster Their Discord is a mess as well.
