The Nex Playground console, a very popular machine fully focused on retro gaming and very affordable up until now, will unfortunately face a price increase in the coming days.
It has been announced that the console’s price will rise from $249 to $299 starting April 1, 2026. The Play Pass, which is the subscription offering access to over 50 games, will remain available for $89 per year (or $49 for three months).
To explain this change, the manufacturer of the Nex Playground cites, of course, the rising cost of memory and storage.
It’s interesting to see the Nex Playground console gaining popularity! The price increase might encourage some to grab it before April. Retro gaming enthusiasts will surely have mixed feelings about this news.
