The Commodore 64 Ultimate Breaks 10K Units

The iconic Commodore 64 is not just back—it’s setting new records. The recently revived Commodore International has announced that the Commodore 64 Ultimate, the first new official C64 in over 30 years, has already surpassed 10,000 units sold. The company marked the occasion with a heartfelt thank you to its ever-supportive community, acknowledging that “hitting 10K pre-orders… is only possible because of your passion and support.”

From launch day on July 12, sales surged, fueled by a wave of nostalgia, strong media buzz, and the viral “Let’s Buy Commodore” video series. Engagement from fans old and new, plus high-profile coverage and YouTube reviews, pushed the C64 Ultimate past this major sales milestone mere weeks after launch.

The Commodore 64 Ultimate isn’t just for collectors or retro enthusiasts. This all-new model features an FPGA-powered motherboard for true hardware compatibility, USB and HDMI for modern convenience, and a mechanical keyboard inspired by the original’s legendary feel. Three editions—Founders (gold-plated), Starlight (translucent LED), and classic Beige—let fans pick their perfect blend of nostalgic style and 2025 tech.

It’s more than a reboot

The Commodore 64 Ultimate aims to unite vintage gaming lovers and the maker/mod scene. With support for legacy accessories and modern file formats, plus a “Founder’s Sandbox” roadmap promising up to 12 major new product releases over four years, Commodore is staking its future on both community and innovation.
