Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, the beloved interactive history of Atari from developer Digital Eclipse, has expanded its collection with the addition of 12 more retro games as part of a free Holiday Content Update.

Released at the end of last year, Atari 50 has received praise for its comprehensive exploration of Atari’s 50-year history. The interactive experience includes in-depth interviews with designers, developers, and other influential industry figures, as well as documentary footage, design documents, and original artwork from the archives.

It also includes previously unreleased titles such as Akka Arrh, which received a reimagining from developer Jeff Minter earlier this year.
