Atari has just introduced the new VCS Vault , a new collection of games that all Atari VCS owners will be able to download for free on their gaming system. And with them, the availability of a new completely wireless joystick will also be released that attracts a lot of attention for its functions and qualities.
100 free games
The Atari VCS Vault will be a completely free download for users with the Atari VCS console. This update will install 100 of the brand’s most popular games, including Atari 2600 classics like Adventure, Asteroids, Centipede, Pong, and Warlords. Those who want more games can also download volume 2 of the pack, which will cost $ 4.99 and includes 50 games, including some from the Atari 5200 (remember that the manufacturer’s idea is to go towards that subscription model ).
A new control
Taking advantage of the launch of the game pack, Atari also wanted to present the new wireless classic joystick , a controller inspired by the CX40 of the Atari 2600 and that has a more modern profile thanks to its wireless connectivity, integrated LEDs for light effects, Rotating mast for playing driving games, vibration and USB connection.
This controller is also compatible with PC and mobile devices, so it could be an ideal accessory to combine with the emulators you have installed at home. The price of this Joystick is $ 59.99, although it will also be sold in a pack format with the Atari VCS.

When will the Atari VCS go on sale?
At the moment the manufacturer is attending to the orders that were completed through Indiegogo’s financing campaign, but later it will continue with the reservations that it allows to make through its website. On the official website itself they indicate that shipments will be made in 2020, but seen what has been seen … it seems that the issue is going on for a long time.
But the wait seems to be worth it, since this device is characterized by including a high-performance Ryzen 1606G processor with Radeon Vega graphics that will allow to give life to the so-called PC Mode, being able to run Windows, or Linux with keyboard and mouse compatibility. Will this be the ultimate emulation machine?
