• Illustration — Exterior comparison of original six-switch Atari 2600 (top) and Atari 2600+ (bottom) The 2600+ is an 80% scale replica of the 1980 CX2600-A model of the Atari 2600 and still carries the Video Computer System name on it. The system comes with a replica CX40 joystick. The joystick also uses the same hardware and therefore the system is backwards compatible with the older joysticks. The system weighs 1.3 lb, which is less than a third of the original unit. The display output is provided through a single HDMI interface, while power is provided by a single USB-C to USB-A cable to a wall socket. The processor is a Rockchip 3128.

The Atari 2600+ is backwards compatible with the vast majority of Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 cartridges. A few cartridges do not function because the system uses software-based emulation instead of a binary compatible system-on-chip hardware. The bundled cartridge has switches itself for selecting what game to launch. It includes 10 games: • Adventure (1980) • Combat (1977) • Dodge 'Em (1980) • Haunted House (1982) • Maze Craze (1980) • Missile Command (1980) • RealSports Volleyball (1982) • Surround (1977) • Video Pinball (1981) • Yars' Revenge (1982)

The Atari 2600+ was announced on August 22, 2023. Atari, Inc. worked together with German publisher Plaion who is the manufacturing and distributing partner. The console was released in November 2023 in North America, European territories, Australia and New Zealand.
