About
Pac-Man 256 is a 2015 mobile-inspired action game that reimagines the classic arcade formula as an endless maze experience. Drawing inspiration from the infamous glitched 256th level, the game challenges players to continuously navigate through mazes while avoiding ghosts, collecting power-ups, and hunting for high scores. The gameplay loop focuses on reflexes and strategy rather than complex graphics or storytelling.
This is an extremely accessible title for PC gaming benchmarks, requiring minimal GPU power to run smoothly. An entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 303 will handle Pac-Man 256 with ease, delivering strong FPS performance across all graphics settings. With just 1 GB of RAM required, it's one of the most lightweight modern games available, making it ideal for testing baseline performance on modest hardware configurations.
If you enjoy classic arcade-style action games with a modern twist, Pac-Man 256's 82/100 rating suggests a solid, entertaining experience worth checking out. The endless gameplay mechanic offers good replayability for score chasers and casual players alike.
Performance profile
Released in August 2015, Pac-Man 256 sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.
Action titles like Pac-Man 256 reward high framerates for visual clarity during combat. A mid-range modern GPU at 1440p 60–120 FPS is the practical sweet spot; VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) smooths out drops during heavy effects.
Extremely light — Pac-Man 256 runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
"On PAC-MAN's 35th anniversary, we are collaborating with Hipster Whale (the makers of Crossy Road) to bring you a hilariously addictive endless maze chase inspired by the infamous level 256 glitch from the original PAC-MAN! The free-to-play game will be available for smartphones and tablets in summer 2015."
