The C64 Ultimate is headed to physical stores

The C64 Ultimate, the modern reissue of the Commodore 64 computer, is moving from online sales to store shelves. On November 3, 2026, the official Commodore account announced on X that the machine would reach stores "soon", thanks to an exclusive deal with distributor Colby.

Colby claims around 70 retail partners and more than 500 outlets. The targeted territories are Europe, parts of Africa and parts of Asia, and Commodore says it is working on the USA too. Chains such as Media Markt and Argos are named among the expected retailers.

What we do not know yet

The announcement gives neither a price nor a precise on-shelf date. It also mentions the 64C-style case model and a Cyberpunk 2077-themed edition launched alongside it, as well as the Callback 8020 phone, described as the brand's best seller. Commodore's CEO Christian Simpson is the YouTuber behind the relaunch. We will follow price and availability announcements by country.
