Atari and Twin Galaxies Launch Atari World Championships

Atari is staging a North American pilot that uses Twin Galaxies’ verified submission system to run open online qualifiers that lead to a live Grand Final.

Overview

  • Atari and Twin Galaxies announced a new competition that begins with open online qualifying across five classic Atari titles and ends in an in-person Grand Final.
  • Twin Galaxies will manage score submission and verification through its Submission and Adjudication Process (TGSAP) and publish per-game leaderboards plus an overall aggregate leaderboard.
  • The initial tournament will operate as a North America pilot and Twin Galaxies is recruiting a limited number of founding brand partners for that run.
  • Organisers have not yet named the five games or disclosed dates, eligible platforms, the Grand Final location, or prize details, leaving key execution points open.
  • The partnership pairs Twin Galaxies’ four-decade scorekeeping authority with Atari’s 50-plus-year catalogue and wider IP activity, a move that could revive retro competitive play and give classic Atari fans a verified platform to compete and be recognised.
