Despite claims that Analogue will continue to ship the Analogue 3D in the month of July, the company has announced it has been delayed to August 2025. Throughout the past few weeks, multiple users and members of the Analogue community have been relying on reports from customer support to claim that the device was still set to ship during July. However, customer support is explicitly never going to deviate or deliver news that the company has yet to announce.
Customer Support is Not Gospel
The customer support messaging repeated wording used by the company to express a desire to continue to ship the Analogue 3D as (then) currently scheduled. But now, just a few days after recent reports, the company has officially shared that the device will begin shipping in August.
Following last week’s sudden tariff changes, Analogue 3D will now begin shipping next month.

Analogue has an incredibly murky relationship with its customers. While the devices are heavily praised for their build quality, usage, and overall versatility in the modern tech landscape, the company rarely shares information about its devices before they launch and remains mum on news post-launch as well.
Analogue Drops the Ball
Last year, the company removed most mentions of the Analogue DAC from its webpages and has yet to make any announcement about its discontinuation or otherwise. The DAC can be useful for those looking to play Analogue consoles on original CRT monitors. Even though promised as a feature during the Analogue Pocket launch, the device remains only compatible with the Super NT and Mega SG.
With a new expected launch month of August, this marks the third delay the device has faced as it was originally slated for late 2024, then Q1 2025, followed by the most recent delay pushing it to July 2025.
Analogue 3D in White
August is the new expectation for the console, and the company claims the tariffs enacted “last week” are the reason for the delay, but did not specify which of the tariffs are affecting the release.
Still, as we wait for another FPGA console to become available, Analogue faces competition from ModRetro and its recently announced N64-based release. As long as this release has been with little to no information, we still await what may be Analogue’s most anticipated console to date.
