From Press Release:
Panic is over the moon excited to announce that — their curated, mysterious collection of brand new Playdate games that will be released weekly for Playdate owners who purchase the season across six weeks — begins today!
Playdate Season Two can be purchased for $39 USD from Catalog, Panic’s digital store for Playdate games. Once you purchase the Season, your Playdate will give you access to download the first games of the Season and will then automatically download future games of the Season on Thursdays at 10 AM PT – as long as your Playdate is connected to WiFi, has enough on device storage, and is on the latest OS update.
Playdate Season Two’s rollout of games will end on July 3, but the games will remain as part of the bundle. Once you purchase the Season you can choose to receive games weekly or catch up to where the season rollout is at that time between now and July 3.
The Season kicks off with two titles and the first transmission of a mysterious broadcast… !

For those without a Playdate, there is still time to get one to experience the games of Season Two together with the Playdate community. Units are available to order at shop.play.date for $229, with refurbished units also now available for $179. All Playdate units come with Season One included with the purchase of a Playdate.
