The Recalbox team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We hope that this festive season will be an opportunity to enjoy your loved ones, to spoil them and to be spoiled!

For many of us, Christmas was the time when we entered the world of video games: when we received our first console, when we unwrapped our first games, sometimes unexpected, sometimes forbidden.

It's easy to remember the nostalgia of a simple time when you could switch on your new console in the evening while your parents continued to unwrap their presents. No updates, no accounts to create... the pleasure was immediate!

That's the kind of pleasure we're trying to bring you throughout the year with the Recalbox project. Our greatest gift is to see you on the networks, having fun, sharing your games and memories with your children, family and friends, and simply playing!

So, what can we wish you this festive season? Well, even more retrogaming under the tree: Raspberry Pi, 8BitDo controllers, Retroflag cases, vinyl, the books Fabrice has been introducing you to all year, etc.

We won't hold it against you if you receive a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series or Switch... we promise...

As we look forward to 2025, a year full of surprises and new releases for Recalbox, we'd like to wish you all the very best for the festive season, and for sharing some quality time with your loved ones, as well as a great holiday for the lucky ones.
