New Atari 7800+ Retro Console Gets First Big Discount At Amazon

Atari built the 7800+ as a modernized and compact version of the iconic retro console. It connects to your TV via HDMI, plays Atari 7800 and 2600 cartridges, and works with original and third-party Atari cartridges. The included controller charges via USB-C. Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest is a sequel to Crystal Castles--making it a nice first game to add to your library.

The Atari 7800+ isn't the only new addition to the Atari catalog, as the company released two new controllers and numerous game cartridges alongside the console.

The CX78+ Wireless Gamepad is included with the Atari 7800+ and is a recreation of the popular two-button controller from the original platform. You can buy extra CX78+ gamepads for $35 each.

The CX40+, meanwhile, is Atari's joystick controller. It originally released in 2023 with the 2600+, but Atari added a wireless model to the lineup alongside the 7800+. You can purchase the CX40+ Wireless Joystick for $35 at Amazon.

The controllers work on the Atari 7800+ and 2600+ as well as PC when using a USB-C adapter. If you happen to own the original Atari 7800 or 2600, they'll work on those, too.

Amazon also has a bunch of new 7800 and 2600 cartridges to play on your discounted console. Each cart costs $30 and is compatible with the Atari 7800+ and 2600+ as well as original hardware.
