Catalog is the official storefront from Panic, accessible both on-device and on Playdate's website, allowing people to purchase and download curated games. It was announced on the Early 2022 Playdate Update, and was released on March 7th, 2023 alongside Playdate Update #3.

Catalog features games made by members of the Panic team, as well as curated games from third-parties including existing releases available from other marketplaces such as itch.io, and new games that are exclusive to the storefront.

Catalog games are released in batches, updated sporadically. New batches of games are indicated by an aqua-blue colored blinking light on the device's Lock button next time it checks in to the servers.
