Atari 50 2022
Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is a 2022 interactive documentary and video game compilation. It was developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Atari to mark the 50th anniversary of Atari, Inc. The game includes newly recorded interviews with former employees, archival materials, emulated titles from Atari's history, and six original games inspired by classic Atari releases. It launched on November 11, 2022 for Atari VCS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
The experience is structured as a five-part interactive timeline that traces the company’s history through video, scanned documents, and related gameplay. Critics responded positively, noting its depth and comparing it to a museum or standard documentary. They appreciated its completeness and expressed hope that more companies would receive similar treatment in future projects.
Following its initial release, Digital Eclipse provided extra content via free updates and paid DLC, which were later merged into Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Expanded Edition. This success encouraged the creation of additional documentary-style compilations under the Gold Master Series by Digital Eclipse. The game supports both single-player and multiplayer modes.
