Not rendered. Not filtered. First shots of Ataribox in the flesh.

The guys at Atari have just release these images of the Ataribox in the flesh

(and BTW: It is real wood!).

The guys at Atari have released more information as well since we first reported this. Ataribox will be powered by an AMD customized processor, with Radeon Graphics technology. It’ll run Linux, with a customized, easy-to-use user interface. 

This approach means that as well as being a great gaming device, Ataribox is also a full PC experience for the TV, bringing you streaming, applications, social, browsing, music, and more.

Most TV devices have closed systems and content stores. Linux lets us be more open; you can access & customise the OS, & you can access games you’ve bought from other content platforms (if compatible with the OS and HW).
There will be tons of classic Atari retro games pre-loaded, & current titles from a range of studios (we’ll start talking titles very soon, stay tuned).

Atari plans on releasing the Ataribox around about May/June 2018. Watch this space as we launch this awesome piece of geekery.
