OpenAI lists Codex-edition Chromatic retro handheld at $200

On November 10, 2026, OpenAI's storefront Supply Co. put a retro gaming handheld on sale: the ModRetro Chromatic: Codex Edition, developed jointly with retro hardware maker ModRetro and priced at USD 200 (roughly CNY 1334). The device ships with a programmable Codex game cartridge. Using the Codex and the ModRetro Chromatic plugin, users can build games in the style of Nintendo's Game Boy Color, write the generated files onto the cartridge, and play them on the handheld. According to OpenAI's developer team, a user can start from a single prompt, and Codex then helps with scenes, characters, animations, maps, and game logic. Games can run in a desktop emulator, be tested on the Chromatic handheld itself, and finally be written to the physical cartridge. The handheld first appeared as an exclusive product at OpenAI DevDay on September 30, and its appearance was adjusted before it became a regular Supply Co. listing. Availability is limited to the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. The product showed as sold out less than one hour after launch, with a restock expected on November 19.
