PlayDate has an accessory – a multi-purpose games console dock with a stereo speaker and pen-holder!
The handheld PlayDate console may not be on the market yet, but boy is it building up some hype – and the latest livestream from console maker Panic shows the PlayDate won’t be a one trick pony. Specifically, it’ll be a four-trick pony. Panic’s team members showed off a multi-faceted accessory for the PlayDate console, which is a stand that can magnetically connect to the handheld and charge up its battery – much like a wireless charging pad for a smartphone. The stand will also pack in a stereo speaker, for playing PlayDate games real loud, or the music from a pre-installed playlist of ‘summer tracks’ called Poolsuitefm. Loath to underdeliver, Panic has also said the stand will act as a pen-holder, and there’s even an official PlayDate pen (in the console’s iconic yellow color) that you can slip into it.
