Nostalgia as a driver of innovation
Founded in Quebec in 2021, PlayerZone is the culmination of a dream shared by Marc Belland and Julien Carrière, two childhood friends with a passion for retro gaming. Their mission? To bring back the emotions associated with video games from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s… but with today's technological standards. Thanks to a clear vision and a product acclaimed by the community, the company quickly achieved great success in Canada, captivating thousands of nostalgic gamers with its seamless, modern retro experience.
A Quebec success story that crossed the Atlantic
Following their resounding success in Canada, they launched their portable retro console in Europe in 2022. A compact, intuitive, multilingual device, preloaded with over 15,000 iconic games, and capable of accommodating as many as you want. Their expansion continued in 2024 and they are now exporting their products to the international English-speaking market.
