For the past couple of days, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 has been listed for free on various storefronts before promptly being pulled. Now we know why. Publisher Bandai Namco is indeed allowing everyone with a PlayStation 4 to pick up a free digital copy of the game through until 10th May as part of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Following in the footsteps of Sony, who are currently allowing anyone with a PlayStation Network account to grab Journey and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection free of charge, the deal applies to both European and US territories. The official Bandai Namco Twitter account has proceeded to link users to the US store, but the offer isn't actually live there just yet. However, those with an EU PSN account can pick up Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 for free right now.
Are you going to check the game out for free? Let us know in the comments below.

I will try this. Good on them
I purchased this a while back, it is great fun. Note to trophy hunters, the platinum is super nails, I avoided going for it to save my sanity.
Great. Thanks for the info.
Neato. Good PR move.
That's very nice of them. I'm up for giving it a try.
Nice gesture! 🙂
Great stuff. Loved the first Championship Edition, I'll definitely play this!
Kudos to Bandai Namco and Sony for doing this for the players.
shame, I already have this 😩
It's still $12.99 in the U.S. store.
What a game. Champ edition 1 will always hold a special place in my gaming life, rejuvenation of an old franchise which was way better than the original. Champ Ed 2 is brilliant, but a bunch of mechanics stray well away from the original so it's more a rhythmic score chase puzzle game than a dodge em up. Still a great gesture and a reminder of a superb game.
Downloaded... already played through the tutorial... I can see myself playing through this quite a bit over the weekend!
@LieutenantFatman
