Picture game night in a house with more than one gamer. One person wants this year's release. Another wants the console they had as a kid. Someone else only plays on a PC. And somebody just wants a handheld and the corner of the couch.
LvlUp's Retro giveaway was put together as a PC plus a retro console and games bundle, which means there is a piece of it for each of those people. Here is who gets what.
For the PC playerA custom build with its own monitor
The headline item is a custom-built gaming PC housed in a retro-style case. Inside: a GeForce RTX 5090, an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 64GB of DDR5 and a 4TB Gen5 SSD. It comes with a gaming monitor, so the PC player is not borrowing the family TV.
For the new-release fanToday's three consoles
The bundle covers the current generation from all three makers: the Nintendo Switch 2, the Xbox Series S and the PlayStation 5. Whatever the household plays this year, there is hardware for it.
For the collectorOlder hardware from every side
This is where the bundle earns the name Retro. On the Nintendo side: the NES, Nintendo 64 and Wii. From PlayStation: the original console through the PlayStation 4. From Xbox: the original Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Games for the classic systems come with it.
For the handheld playerThree portables
Not everyone wants a TV. The bundle includes a Game Boy Advance SP, a Nintendo DS Lite and a PSP, three systems that never need a television.
Also for the PC playerRetro-style inputs
The PC comes with a PRIMEPLUS retro wireless gaming mouse plus a retro joystick and keyboard. They match the tower, so the whole setup looks like one set.

Sharing it outOne prize, a few ways to set it up
How a household spreads all this around is up to them. A few ideas: the PC and monitor go on your own desk. The current consoles go under the main TV. The older systems get their own shelf, Xbox on one side and PlayStation on the other. The handhelds live in a basket by the couch.
The other optionIf the house would rather have cash
Some households might prefer money to hardware. The Official Rules allow for that: the winner may pick a $10,000 cash award in place of the prize package. The package itself has a maximum approximate retail value of $16,000.
The fine print, in plain EnglishHow entering works
Members are entered automatically. An active LvlUp membership includes automatic entry into every LvlUp giveaway, alongside the other member benefits.
Anyone can enter for free. Mail a hand-printed 3" x 5" card as described in the Official Rules. Each mail-in entry counts as 10 entries. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by November 19, 2026 and received by November 23, 2026.
Paying never improves your odds. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning, and odds depend on the number of eligible entries received.

Common questions
Can the prize be split between people in the house?
The prize goes to one winner, and the Official Rules don't allow it to be assigned or transferred. Once it is awarded, the winner is responsible for all matters relating to it.
Does everyone in the house have to enter separately?
Each person who wants a chance enters on their own, and each must meet the eligibility rules: at least 18, or the age of majority, and a legal resident of the US or Canada. Void where prohibited. Canadian winners also face a skill-testing question.
Can the winner take cash instead?
Yes. The choice is the full bundle or a $10,000 cash award.
Is there a free way in?
Yes. A hand-printed mail-in entry costs nothing beyond postage and counts as 10 entries. The how-to is in the Official Rules.
When is the winner picked?
You have until November 19, 2026 at 11:59:59 p.m. ET. A random drawing follows on or about November 24, 2026, handled by the Administrator, American Sweepstakes & Promotion Co., Inc.
