Retroid Announces Dual Screen Add-On for Retroid Pocket 5, Mini, and 4 Pro

Retroid, a well-known developer in the retro gaming and emulation handheld market, has officially announced a new accessory: the Retroid Dual Screen Add-On.

This accessory will offer enhanced functionality to several of Retroid’s flagship portable devices, including the Retroid Pocket 5, Retroid Pocket Mini, and Retroid Pocket 4 Pro.

For the uninitiated, Retroid has built a strong reputation among retro gaming enthusiasts with a product lineup that includes the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 and Retroid Pocket Classic.

The company is recognized for its commitment to delivering high-quality, versatile emulation experiences, allowing players to enjoy a wide range of classic titles on modern, handheld hardware. Anticipation for a new hardware release had been building throughout the week, following a series of cryptic social media posts from Retroid.

Enthusiasts and industry observers speculated that Retroid might be preparing to unveil a dual-screen handheld device, potentially joining the likes of Ayaneo, OneXSugar, and MagicX—companies that have all signaled interest in Nintendo DS and 3DS-style devices built for the emulation scene. However, Retroid’s latest announcement sets the record straight.

Instead of an all-new handheld, the company has chosen to expand the capabilities of its current lineup.

According to the official statement, the newly unveiled Retroid Dual Screen Add-On will be compatible with the Retroid Pocket 5, Retroid Pocket Mini, and Retroid Pocket 4 Pro.

This move allows existing users of these popular emulation handhelds to enhance their devices without purchasing entirely new hardware. While Retroid has yet to share specifics like pricing or an exact release date for the Dual Screen Add-On, the announcement clearly indicates an innovative direction for the brand.

By supporting existing hardware, Retroid ensures a longer lifecycle for its handhelds and gives users the option to experience dual-screen gameplay, an appealing feature reminiscent of classic Nintendo handheld consoles. The announcement statement reaffirmed the company's focus on compatibility and expanding user possibilities: 'The Dual Screen Add-On is designed for seamless integration with our current devices, offering users new ways to interact with their favorite games.' As Retroid continues to evolve its ecosystem, retro gaming fans and analysts alike will closely watch for details regarding the launch window, pricing, and wider feature set of the Dual Screen Add-On.

For now, this accessory marks another step in Retroid’s mission to provide flexible solutions that keep classic gaming experiences accessible and exciting for modern audiences. Stay tuned for further updates on the Retroid Dual Screen Add-On as additional information becomes available.

Existing users of the Retroid Pocket 5, Mini, and 4 Pro can look forward to an expanded set of features designed to enrich their retro gaming experience.
