A big Playdate sale discounts 13 of our favorite games

The Catalog Anniversary Sale 2025 runs until March 10.

It’s the second anniversary of the Playdate’s Catalog game store and to celebrate, you can get a bunch of great Playdate games and apps at a healthy discount — in many cases for 50 percent off or more.

The sale starts today, March 6, and ends on March 10 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. Over 150 Playdate games are on sale, but if you’re looking for a good place to start, 13 titles from our list of the best Playdate games are currently discounted:

Panic, the creators of the Playdate, introduced Catalog as a supplement to the Playdate’s first “Season” of games when it was still uncertain if another one was going to happen. The tiny handheld supports sideloading games from third-party stores like Itch, but Catalog offers a more curated selection if you don’t want to spend time finding something good.

Now that Panic’s confirmed that a second season of Playdate games is on the way in 2025, this Catalog sale is a perfect opportunity to stock up on anything you might have missed before the new season launches.
