| Expect an Atari VCS release this year
The Atari VCS, formerly labelled Ataribox will release this year! First announced back in June 2017, this new console is not a modern take on the original Atari 2600. Rather, it's a PC / console hybrid that is capable of playing more than 100 home and arcade classic Atari games as well as new titles. In addition, you can also stream your favorite shows in 4K HDR, boot the system into PC mode and install any OS, making it remarkably flexible.
The Atari VCS will be available in three models: a classic wood grain walnut, black, and carbon gold. All three versions share the same, slick design, with ribbed lines and a raised back.
Most exciting is that the final specs of the VCS are out! Sporting an AMD Raven Ridge 2 APU with Ryzen GPU, 32GB of eMMC storage (expandable), 8GB DDR4 RAM (upgradable), Wifi, HDMI 2.0, USB, etc, etc. The top-end versions will support 4K, but a budget version called VCS 400 will have half the RAM and support 1080p only.
