MODERN GAMING CONSOLE AND VIDEO COMPUTER SYSTEM IN ONE
Ready for console gameplay, HD streaming, and productivity, the Atari VCS is a streamlined take on the classic design of Atari’s first console. Access games and entertainment on the native Atari OS, or customize your VCS experience — it’s like modifying the engine before hitting the digital highway.
Two Ways to VCS
The Atari VCS out of the box is built game and productivity ready. Power on the Atari VCS and you have a built-in entertainment center ready for retro and modern gaming. To harness the VCS's full PC potential, PC Mode allows users to load optional Linux and Windows systems, opening up a world of games and applications.
Creators can customize the Atari VCS
Creators of all ages can upgrade and customize the Atari VCS hardware. The VCS is powered by an AMD Raven Ridge 2 APU and AMD Ryzen processor GPU with 8GB DDR4 RAM, and 32GB eMMC fixed internal storage. Boost performance by adding an internal M.2 SATA hard drive or upgrading the RAM.
Atari VCS Accessories: Built for both retro and modern gaming
Play your favorite retro classics like never before! Featuring built-in rumble, LED effects, and authentic button control, Atari's compatible Wireless Classic Joystick and Modern Controller bring the golden age of gaming to a new generation.
October 21, 2026
We have stopped onboarding new games and we will be shutting down the Atari VCS software store early next year. VCS owners will be able to purchase games through February 1, 2027.
After the store shuts down, owners will continue to be able to play the games they have purchased and downloaded to their VCS.
The Atari VCS has earned its spot alongside the many console platforms Atari has launched over the past 50-plus years. We want to thank our dedicated players and creators for bringing such great content to the VCS, and for building a vibrant community.
Thank you for playing with us.
