Initial impressions were centered around how unusual the device was, from the crank, its 1-bit screen, and its odd method of delivering games to players. On May 22, 2019, Panic announced Playdate.

Uvula ( Keita Takahashi, Ryan Mohler), Matthew Grimm, Shaun Inman Panic stated that they were interested in games created by underrepresented developers and that there were games from women, queer, trans and non-binary developers in Playdate’s first season. Video games are produced by Panic as well as notable indie game developers such as Keita Takahashi, Zach Gage, Bennett Foddy, Shaun Inman, and Chuck Jordan. The order of released games was unknown until the week they were released, and were revealed to players when they automatically downloaded. A total of 24 games are in the first season, two released per week, all included in the price of the console. Games are published by Panic in seasons, with new games being sent to the device over Wi-Fi each week. The Cover was released alongside the device, while the Stereo Dock does not yet have a release date. Panic announced two accessories for the device, a purple Cover and a yellow Stereo Dock that charges the device, functions as a speaker, and includes a pen.
Each pixel can remember its state (black/white) without needing to be refreshed, resulting in faster refreshing and lower power usage, while also being "viewable in any light, from edge-of-vision darkness to brightest sunlight," with a wide 170° viewing angle. Playdate uses a Sharp Memory LCD screen, similar to e-paper displays. It was designed in collaboration with Teenage Engineering, a Swedish consumer electronics company. The crank, which can be used for additional inputs, can be tucked away. The device is small, square, and yellow, featuring a black-and-white 1-bit screen for display, with a 4 way directional pad, two game buttons, and a mechanical on the side.
