Atari is marking PAC-MAN’s 45th anniversary with a striking new addition to its gaming console lineup. Introducing the limited edition Atari 2600+ PAC-MAN Edition, this release is a vibrant tribute to the iconic game that has entertained generations. Partnering with Bandai Namco, Atari has crafted this celebratory console as part of the exclusive Atari x PAC-MAN Collection.
Dressed in PAC-MAN’s signature bright yellow, the console isn’t just about looks. It comes with a specially designed CX-40+ wireless joystick, adorned with the beloved characters PAC-MAN and the Ghost Gang — Blinky, Inky, Clyde, and Pinky. A unique feature is their ability to light up when the console is powered on, adding a playful touch.
Included in this edition is a 2-in-1 game cartridge titled PAC-MAN: Double Feature. This cartridge beautifully bridges the past and present by offering the original PAC-MAN 2600 game alongside a fresh, arcade-style experience with PAC-MAN 7800. Set your calendars for July 23 when pre-orders open at $169.99. The console will make its debut on October 31, 2025.
For those already embracing the Atari 2600+, there’s good news too. You can purchase the special edition CX-40+ wireless controllers separately. These are available in the iconic PAC-MAN yellow and the vibrant colors of the Ghost Gang, sold for $39.99 each or as a complete bundle for $199.95.
To complement the console and enhance the nostalgia, the Atari x PAC-MAN Collection offers a bundle of classic games for both the Atari 2600+ and Atari 7800/7800+. Enjoy timeless games like Galaga, Xevious, and Dig Dug alongside the celebrated PAC-MAN: Double Feature. Individual games are priced at $34.99, or grab the whole collection for $139.99, which includes exclusive pins and patches for each game.
This celebration of PAC-MAN’s legacy is not just a trip down memory lane but a chance to enjoy new gaming experiences. Be ready to explore these limited edition offerings by pre-ordering starting July 23.
