Later today, at 2 pm GMT, the publisher Atari and developer Digital Eclipse are adding 12 new titles to their interactive documentary Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration in a brand new free update to celebrate the holiday season.
The collection (which was launched last year across Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Series X|S, PS4/5, and Windows PC) already contained 103 titles at launch, which included various Atari arcade games, as well as titles for the company's 8-bit family of computers, and its long list of consoles (such as the 2600, 5200, 7800, the Atari Lynx, and the Atari Jaguar).
This new update brings the total number of games up to 115, introducing 11 new titles for the Atari 2600 (including prototypes and homebrews), as well as a new addition for the Atari Lynx. You can see the full list of games below:
- Adventure II (homebrew) 2600
- Bowling 2600
- Double Dunk 2600
- Maze Craze 2600
- Miniature Golf 2600
- MotoRodeo 2600
- Aquaventure (prototype) 2600
- Save Mary (prototype) 2600
- Super Football 2600
- Return to Haunted House (homebrew) 2600
- Circus Atari 2600
- Warbirds Lynx
According to the press release, more free expansions are planned for the future. These will not just include more games, but will also feature additional interviews and behind-the-scenes materials.

Nice to see they put Warbirds back in after that last update that removed it
TBH the 2600 stuff is of no interest to me, but hopefully it'll lead to.some 7800 titles and maybe a few more Jaguar games. Super Burnout would be nice.
I got to say like Duke Nukem: "Where is it?".
These games are nowhere to been seen in the Atari 50 games library (and I did download a pretty d*** big update).
So where is it?
Ok, seems they will release 15 o'clock CET, my bad.
Sweet! Warbirds is back on there! Was expecting Berzerk but maybe that's coming later.
Really cool, but I was hoping for at least a Jaguar game or two. Maybe in the future.
Hrhsgdhfn give us the Batman arcade game at some pointtttt pleeeeaaase😩
It's great that they're updating the collection. If only they could release a controller or adapter so we could use the 2600-controller as well.
