Atari today announced the launch of a new game console, the Intellivision Sprint, to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the release of the original home game console, the Intellivision.This model has 45 classic games that players love and is equipped with a number of technical upgrades. It will be available for pre-sale on the Atari official website starting from October 17, priced at US$149.99, and will be officially shipped on December 5.

Launched in 1980, the original Intellivision was a direct competitor to the Atari 2600, sparking a legendary showdown that would become known as the "First Console War."Compared with products of the same period, Intellivision provides players with more realistic sports games, richer picture effects and unique controller designs.

The new Intellivision Sprint was developed in cooperation with Atari and Plaion, and adopts a replica design - continuing the gold and black color scheme and wood grain front face of the original model.In terms of technology upgrades, this model is equipped with two wireless controllers, HDMI output interface and USB-A interface for game library expansion.

The 45 built-in games embody Intellivision's advantages in sports and strategy games.Highlights include sports games "Baseball", "Super Pro Golf" (, "Soccer", "Super Pro Skiing", "Tennis", "Super Pro Rugby"), as well as strategy games "B-17 Bomber", "Naval Battle", "Space Battle", and "Utopia". In addition, players' favorite arcade games such as "Space Smash", "Shark! Shark!", "Star Strike", "Thin Ice", "Boulder"Dash" is also included. Each game comes with two unique and eye-catching controller panels.

“We are excited to celebrate Intellivision’s 45th anniversary, and what better way to honor this innovative console than to bring it back for players to experience again,” said Matt Burnett, Atari’s Vice President of Strategic Operations. “Being the guardian of such an important brand is both a huge responsibility and a fun expansion of Atari’s business.”

In 2024, Atari acquired the ownership of the Intellivision brand and most of the game copyrights through a landmark acquisition, and officially launched a major plan to expand the Intellivision brand legacy.Since then, Atari has launched the "First Console War" expansion content of "Atari 50th Anniversary Collection"; now, the release of Intellivision Sprint marks the beginning of a new journey for Atari in the field of Intellivision hardware.

“It’s very rewarding to be able to apply our successful experience in the Atari+ retro console partnership to the development of the Intellivision Sprint,” said Plaion Commercial Director Ben Jones. “We are proud to reinterpret this groundbreaking console with a modern perspective and bring new experiences to Intellivision players and collectors.”

Intellivision Sprint will start pre-sale on October 17, 2025, priced at US$149.99, and will be officially shipped on December 5, 2025.

Players attending the Portland Retro Game Festival this weekend can get an early look at the new Intellivision Sprint at the Atari/AtariAge booth (No. 112).This annual retro gaming event will be held at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland from October 17th to 19th.
