Panic Inc. announced this morning that they have finally caught up on all the Playdate pre-orders and have a new stock of consoles ready for purchase.

According to the company, they will now alert the public when new units are in stock and ready to ship for those who have been waiting a long time to order them and will be notified when their order ships, or even if it's not ready to ship quite yet. The team also confirmed the catalog has blossomed to over 120 titles with many more coming throughout 2024, and they revealed a new list of countries they can ship to, which we have listed for you below.
