Let me remind you that the console will be released with one game, and then a new one will be released every week.\u00a0Is free.<\/p>\n<p>They don't say anything about the second season.\u00a0I think it will depend on success.\u00a0At the same time, Panic has already prepared tools for creating games for the console.\u00a0It is called Pulp and stands out for the fact that it works entirely in the browser.\u00a0I think, thanks to this, the console will gather around itself a modest, but strong community, and new games will be released after the first season.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

\/><\/figure>\n<p>In addition, the consoles have doubled the storage capacity (to 4GB), but the price has risen from $ 150 to $ 180.\u00a0They also showed a docking station, which is both a charger and a speaker, as well as a case for $ 30.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the device is very specific and not cheap.\u00a0The same Nintendo Switch Lite has an official price tag of $ 200 \/ Euro.\u00a0But the uniqueness of both the console and the games will hopefully allow Playdate to become a fairly popular product.<\/p>\n<!-- FeedbackWP Plugin --><div        class=\"rmp-widgets-container rmp-wp-plugin
