No they don’t? The games are only sold on physical cartridges (or built-in in some models).
There’s no online store or downloadable games, besides the ‘game of the month’ trial thing they occasionally run.

Evercade has the advantage of a huge software library to draw from (they have a few native games but the majority are emulated), whereas this will only run it’s own software, which puts it at a disadvantage.
Mind you, the Playdate seems to be going well.

I think one of the things playdate has going for them is they are portable.

Good point. With the specs fully open, hopefully we get a portable of this, at some point.
