Atari Gaming is pivoting away from its free-to-play mobile game business to instead refocus on premium games for console and PC, and in turn create more titles for its recently-released Atari VCS console. Atari announced the shift this week, noting that it will continue to support any « successful games with a loyal user base » on mobile but that it currently plans to sell off or discontinue at least five games from its current lineup. « Despite this new focus on premium gaming, we remain committed to growing and expanding our successful free-to-play games that we have in the market, » reads a statement from Wade J. Rosen, Atari’s recently appointed CEO. The press release provided alongside that statement mentions that RCT Stories, Crystal Castles, Castles & Catapults, Ninja Golf, and Atari Combat: Tank Fury will all be either sold or shut down due to the shift.
