Swap Arcade Launches on Kickstarter March 10
Swap Arcade is a compact, affordable, retro home arcade designed for real homes. It lets you play the classics you love—and your modern favorites too—by using the devices you already own, including a Nintendo Switch, a phone or tablet, or a Windows PC.
Most home arcades are expensive, oversized, and locked into a built-in game list. Swap Arcade takes a different approach: it’s built around your existing platforms and accounts, so you can play genuine games from the sources you already use instead of relying on a limited library of questionable knockoffs.
Swap Arcade is designed to mount cleanly on a wall or set up in tabletop mode, so it fits comfortably in everyday spaces without taking over the room. Backers can plug it in, connect their device, and start playing—then switch devices anytime depending on what they want to do next.
Swap Arcade launches on Kickstarter, March 10, 2026.
