Playnix Batch #2 Sells at €1,139 With Ryzen 5, RX 9060 XT 16GB, and PlaynixOS

Playnix Console Batch #2 is listed at €1,139.00 tax included, with 48 units shown in stock and a lead time that can run above two weeks. The Reddit post came from r/Games on April 19, 2026 UTC and linked to VideoCardz coverage, but the core specs are visible on Playnix's own product page.

The hardware pitch is a compact living-room PC rather than a locked console. Playnix lists a Ryzen 5 six-core CPU at 3.5GHz and 65W TDP, a Radeon RDNA4 GPU with 32 CUs at 150W TDP, identified in the configuration as 9060XT 16GB, plus 16GB GDDR6 VRAM. The system also includes 16GB DDR4 3200MT/s dual-channel RAM, NVMe storage with another free NVMe slot, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, USB-C 3.1, and a Flex 600W PSU.

The bundle includes the Playnix Console, a 4K HDMI cable, a power cable, and an 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controller. The case measures 320 x 247 x 64 mm, and Playnix says it uses a custom Arch-based Linux distribution called PlaynixOS. The company also says users can install Windows, Bazzite, SteamOS, or another OS if they want to replace the default software.

For performance, Playnix claims demanding games such as Cyberpunk 2077 can target 4K 60 FPS at High settings with FSR or XeSS Quality presets. That is a vendor claim, not an independent benchmark, so buyers should treat it as a configuration target until outside testing appears.

Reaction in the r/Games thread focused less on raw specs and more on tradeoffs. Top comments questioned the 16GB RAM and 512GB internal storage for modern game sizes, compared the box to a MiniPC in a custom case, and raised Linux anti-cheat support as a practical risk for couch PC gaming.
