Atari will announce its handheld console next week at CES 2025.
In a tweet below, Atari showed off the GameStation Go, a portable video game player with extra buttons and a wide screen.
While the Gamestation Go is complete with the d-pad, face buttons and shoulder buttons you’d expect on a retro handheld, what makes this one stand out is the inclusion of a Trak-Ball. and Paddle on the left side of the device, and the keyboard on the right side.

There’s not much else to go on at this stage, but the GameStation Go looks like the final design of a product Atari revealed a year ago. At the time, the handheld was called the Atari Gamestation Portable and was due out in the fourth quarter of 2024 at a price of $149. This previous version came with Atari Trak-Ball, Paddle and Keypad controllers, which we can see a refined design of in GameStation Go.
Atari Trak-Ball is used with arcade classics Centipede and Missile Command, while Paddle is used for the likes of Breakout. Atari games like Brain Games and Codebreaker use the keyboard. The My Arcade logo is located on the bottom of the device, which confirms the authorship of the product with the official Atari license.
You’d expect the Gamestation Go to play a long list of retro games powered by Atari’s recent acquisition of the Intellivision brand and Intellivision Entertainment LLC. The purchase included the rights to the Intellivision portfolio and more than 200 titles under the Intellivision brands.
That’s all we have for now. Expect more when CES 2025 starts from January 7.
