Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 is free to keep on Steam, PS4, and Xbox One

Bandai Namco is entering the list of companies that are giving away games for free during COVID-19 pandemic.
Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 is free to keep on Steam, PS4, and Xbox One

If there's one iconic gaming character that's almost on the same level as Mario, that got to be Pac-man.

Pac-Man is one of the longest-running, best-selling, and highest-grossing video game franchises in history, and this July legendary yellow character will celebrate its 40th anniversary.

As a part of an ongoing world effort to stop COVIC-19 spreading, Bandai Namco decided to giveaway  Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 completely free to keep, for the next two weeks. As of today and until 10th May, the game will be free to keep on Steam, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but surprisingly it will not be free on Nintendo Switch.

"We will be sending our beloved goodwill ambassador, Pac-Man, into everyone’s homes by making Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 available for free starting from 24 April 2020 at 10 am PDT to 10 May 2020 at 10 am PDT for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PCs via Steam," Bandai Namco said. "Through this free limited-time giveaway, we hope to bring fun into everyone’s homes around the globe."

Judging by the score on Steam, it looks like the game definitely has its own issues, including some bags and unnecessarily long and unskippable tutorial, but it's free so we will at least give it a try!
