Atari and PLAION REPLAI are proud to announce that the Atari 2600+ PAC-MAN Edition, a brand-new version of the legendary console inspired by one of gaming’s most recognisable icons, is out now.
Launching on Friday 31st October 2025, this special edition brings together two giants of video game history just in time for Halloween, the perfect night to celebrate PAC-MAN’s never-ending pursuit of ghosts.

THE RETURN OF A CLASSIC
The Atari 2600+ PAC-MAN Edition is a lovingly reimagined take on the console that defined home gaming for a generation. Now finished in signature PAC-MAN yellow and featuring illuminated character icons across the front panel, this collector’s edition combines authentic retro design with modern features including HDMI output, USB-C power, and multiple display modes (4:3/16:9).
Included in every box is the PAC-MAN Double Feature cartridge, giving players two ways to relive the arcade chase that started it all:
- PAC-MAN 2600 – the original home console version that introduced millions to PAC-MAN’s maze-chase magic.
- PAC-MAN 7800 – a brand-new, arcade-style version faithfully recreated for the modern era.
Each console also includes a PAC-MAN CX-40+ Wireless Joystick (Yellow) — a bold reimagining of Atari’s most iconic controller.
A CELEBRATION OF GAMING’S GREATEST ICONS
In addition to the console, fans can also collect the PAC-MAN CX-40+ Wireless Joysticks, available separately in five vibrant colours inspired by PAC-MAN and the ghosts; Yellow (PAC-MAN), Red (Blinky), Pink (Pinky), Blue (Inky), and Orange (Clyde). Each joystick retails for £29.99.
“The Atari 2600+ PAC-MAN Edition is where nostalgia meets new life,” said Ben Jones, Commercial Director at PLAION REPLAI. “By bringing two of gaming’s most enduring icons together, we’ve created a piece of history that doesn’t just look the part, it plays beautifully too. It’s the perfect way to rediscover simple fun in a complex world.”
“Atari and PAC-MAN both defined what it meant to play,” added Wade Rosen, CEO of Atari. “This release celebrates that shared legacy and the endless joy of the chase that continues to inspire generations.”
STYLED TO DISPLAY. BUILT TO PLAY.
The Atari 2600+ PAC-MAN Edition and the PAC-MAN CX-40+ Wireless Joysticks are available now from leading retailers worldwide and Atari.com, priced at £129.99 and £29.99 respectively.
