Plaion, Atari, and Bandai Namco have teamed up to launch the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition, a fun and colourful tribute to retro gaming. The new version of the classic console will be released worldwide on 31st October 2025.
This special edition celebrates the long history between Pac-Man and Atari, dating back to when Pac-Man first came to home consoles. It also marks the partnership with Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc., the original creator of Pac-Man.
The Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition comes in bright Pac-Man yellow and has light-up character icons on the front. It includes the Pac-Man Double Feature cartridge and a yellow wireless joystick.
