ANBERNIC Trims microSD Bundles From Handheld Listings After ESA Complaint
ANBERNIC has dropped optional microSD card bundles from several handheld store listings, with only the required 16GB option left on the RG SP page.
ANBERNIC has removed optional microSD card purchase bundles from several handheld listings on its official store, according to androidauthority.com. The change follows a complaint from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) accusing the company of selling devices bundled with unauthorized games.
On the RG SP product page, previously offered multiple microSD card options have been cut back to a single choice. The 16GB card option remains because it is required to hold the handheld's stock firmware.
The listing changes were spotted by Retro Handhelds, which compared an August 14 archived version of the RG SP page with the current storefront. In that archived version, multiple microSD card options were available.
In October 2025, ANBERNIC unveiled a Nintendo 3DS-inspired handheld called the RG DDS. Earlier that month, potential pricing for the RG DDS was leaked.
