Key Developments & Data

Atari partners with Activision to re-release 39 classic Atari 2600 games on physical cartridges. Atari is selling a complete 39-game collector bundle featuring an unannounced item for $1000. Four themed box sets priced at $250 each will roll out through the first three quarters of 2027. Individual Standard Edition releases for 12 titles will hit shelves in November for $35 each. The cartridges run natively on original Atari 2600 and 7800 consoles alongside modern remake hardware. "The Atari x Activision Collection brings that legacy to life through the games themselves, giving fans an opportunity to experience, collect and preserve the work of the developers who helped establish a new model for the video game industry." — Matt Burnett
