Bandai Namco keeps the Pac-Man franchise alive through numerous re-releases on consoles as well as Arcade1Up and other miniature arcade cabinets. This console generation has seen a pair of cool collections of NES games from Namco and Namco Museum, an arcade-themed compilation for Switch, but the last Pac-Man-specific collection dates back to the Xbox 360 era. That will change in just a few months when Pac-Man Museum Plus heads to all consoles and PC, complete with the 4-player co-op sleeper hit, Pac-Man 256.

Amazon Games and BANDAI NAMCO have announced a new PAC-MAN game to celebrate the series 40th anniversary. Called PAC-MAN LIVE STUDIO, the new game runs on Twitch and can be played by anyone, anywhere.
