Pac-Man 256 Coming to Consoles
Lyon, France – May 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2016 – The
yellow 80’s icon with a voracious appetite celebrates his 36th
anniversary with the announcement that the highly acclaimed
PAC-MAN 256 mobile game is now coming to home console and PC
systems. Developed by Hipster Whale and 3 Sprockets, PAC-MAN 256
will be available digitally for PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC
via Steam on 21st June.
PAC-MAN 256 will allow players to experience the award winning
mobile game on console with new features exclusive to the
console versions. In addition to the social sharing options and
10 unlockable themes, you’ll be able to play with up to 4
friends via the local co-op multiplayer mode. Players will have
to work together to eat all Pac-Dots & Power Pellets, and
overcome the notorious ghost ensemble of Blinky, Pinky, Inky,
and Clyde. And of course the infamous “256 Glitch” from the
mobile version is back alongside a host of crazy power-ups.
“We have really enjoyed working with BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment
and Hipster Whale on PAC-MAN 256 for mobile, and having the
opportunity to ship it on the latest generation of consoles and
PC is the icing on the cake for us! We can’t wait to see how
much fun players have with it” says Seon Rozenblum, Director at
3 Sprockets.

Europe S.A.S declares “We wanted everyone to enjoy PAC-MAN 256,
so it was a logical decision to make it available on PS4, Xbox
One and PC. The brand new local multiplayer mode, exclusive to
the console and PC versions, makes it even more accessible: get
ready for maximum fun playing up to 4 players at the same time!”
Fans will not have to wait long as PAC-MAN 256 will be available
on 21st June for PlayStation®4 via the PlayStation®Network, Xbox
One via the Xbox Games Store and PC through Steam.
