A great Playdate sale offers discounts on 13 of our favorite games.

Panic is holding a new game sale for Playdate until March 10th, to commemorate the second anniversary of the device's Catalog store.

The second anniversary of the Catalog game store for Playdate is being celebrated, and to commemorate this occasion, many games and applications for Playdate are available at significant discounts, in some cases over 50%. The promotion starts today, March 6, and will end on March 10 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. There are over 150 Playdate games on sale, and if you're looking for recommendations, 13 highlighted titles are currently at reduced prices:

  • Echo: The Oracle's Scroll for $6, down from $8.
  • Angel Pop for $4, previously $6.
  • Mars After Midnight for $3, from $6.
  • Summit for $4, from $6.
  • Reel-istic Fishing for $5, previously $8.
  • Under the Castle for $6, from $10.
  • Core Fault for $3, down from $6.
  • You're Gonna Miss the Bus! for $3, previously $6.
  • The Keyper for $1, down from $3.
  • You Cannot Go Back! for $1, previously $3.
  • Penrose for $1, from $2.
  • Four Corners for $3, from $6.
  • The Botanist for $6, from $9.

Additionally, there are other interesting options available, such as the dynamic puzzle game XTRIS for $3, the historical RPG Quest for X for $1, and the roguelite mining game SpaceRat Miner for $6. Panic, the company behind Playdate, introduced Catalog as a complement to the first "Season" of games when there was uncertainty about whether another would be released. This handheld device allows games to be loaded from third-party stores like Itch, but Catalog offers a more curated selection for those who prefer not to spend time searching for good titles.

Now that it has been confirmed that a second season of Playdate games will arrive in 2025, this Catalog sale represents a great opportunity to acquire any title you may have missed before the new season launches.
