CRKD delivers new colorway after incredible response to Nitro Deck 2

I love the Nitro Deck. It literally made me play my original Switch more. I've been begging for the Nitro Deck 2, which was recently made a reality. A lot more than just me wanted one, and CRKD has been impressed. So impressed, that a new color variant has been made available for a limited time in collaboration with Limited Run Games. Check out the details below!

Livermore, CA – December 23, 2025 – CRKD™, the premium collectible gaming brand, today announced a limited collaboration, a new retro-inspired design, and exclusive pre-order bonuses ahead of the launch of the highly anticipated Nitro Deck™ 2, expected to begin shipping in Spring 2026.

Receiving an exceptionally strong response from the gaming community since the announcement of Nitro Deck 2, CRKD has been overwhelmed with the number of gamers rushing to secure their unit ahead of launch, and wish to thank each customer for their support. As a final gift before the Holiday, CRKD is delighted to offer loyal gamers even more, announcing today a retro-inspired design as well as the first exciting new collaboration for Nitro Deck 2.

Nitro Deck 2 – Limited Run Games Collaboration:

• Limited by name and limited by nature, the first official Nitro Deck 2 collaboration is one collectors and fans won’t want to miss. Partnering with the masters of limited editions, Limited Run Games, this exclusive release introduces the Fusion Limited Edition, featuring a striking half-Glacier Blue/half Atomic Purple split design. The Fusion Limited Edition brings together the two most iconic colorways from the original Nitro Deck in a bold new form, created for players who want to stand out and play differently. Available exclusively through Limited Run Games and crkd.gg, this collaboration is a pre-order-only item and will be vaulted once the pre-order window closes on March 29, 2026.

Nitro Deck 2 – Pal Grey Edition:

• Community is king at CRKD, and player feedback continues to shape every product decision. While the new Smoke Black and White Editions of Nitro Deck 2 were met with strong enthusiasm, the community also expressed interest in a retro-inspired design option. In response, CRKD is proud to introduce a new challenger to the lineup: the Nitro Deck 2 Pal Grey Edition.

Blending retro-chic aesthetics with modern engineering, the Pal Grey Edition celebrates gaming’s golden age, reimagined for today’s players. And the throwback doesn’t stop there. To complete the look, CRKD is also introducing the Pal Stick Top 8 Pack and Pal D-Pad 4 Pack (sold separately), designed as the perfect visual and functional pairing for the Pal Grey Edition.

CRKD Pre-Order Bonus Bonanza for ALL!

• Saving the best news for last, CRKD is pleased to announce that all Nitro Deck 2 pre-orders will include an exclusive Nitro Deck 2 branded microfiber string bag and a Nitro Deck 2 Early Supporter Collector’s Pin. These complimentary bonuses will be included with every Nitro Deck 2 order, applying to all customers, including those who have already placed their pre-orders as well as those planning to do so.

Managing your pre-orders with CRKD is super easy. Those wishing to make changes to any pre-order already placed are encouraged to visit the Pre-Order Management Portal at: https://go.crkd.gg/preorders, where they can easily cancel their existing order and start again should any of today’s announcements prompt them to make a change.
