Pac-Man<\/em> will be a playable game on Twitch starting this June, Bandai Namco and Amazon Games announced today. To play the Twitch version of the game, called Pac-Man Live Studio<\/em>, you’ll just need to navigate to the dedicated Twitch channel for the game when it goes live, though you’ll only be able to play it on a web browser.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry — you will be able to play the original Pac-Man mazes in Pac-Man Live Studio’s<\/em> Classic Mode. But there will be other modes, too. In Endless Mode, up to four people can play together try and climb a global leaderboard and compete for a high score, but you’ll only have one life per level. In Studio Mode, you can make and share mazes, and you can get a look at the game’s maze editor in the screenshot below. And in Select Mode, up to four players can try to get a high score on community-made mazes.<\/p>\n

Twitch is well-known as a destination to watch video games, and it has played host to a number of interactive creator-led streams, such as the Twitch Plays Pokémon. But Pac-Man Live Studio<\/em> will be the first game that’s built directly into the platform. That raises the intriguing possibility that other games could be built into Twitch in the future, turning it a place to watch and<\/em> play games.<\/p>\n

There are also rumors that Amazon is preparing its own Stadia-like cloud gaming service that will be integrated with Twitch, potentially meaning that you could someday be able to play games more graphically intensive than Pac-Man<\/em> right from a Twitch channel. (Amazon’s Crucible<\/em>, <\/em>its new free-to-play hero shooter that’s only available on Steam right now, comes to mind as a potential candidate for something like this.)<\/p>\n

If you need to get your Pac-Man<\/em> fix before Pac-Man Live Studio<\/em> is available on Twitch, you can spend some of your Friday on one of my favorite places of the internet, the Pac-Man<\/em> Google Doodle.<\/p>\n
