Atari Launches Thousands of NFTs as Physical Artworks
Atari, a renowned name in the gaming industry and the creator of classic titles such as Centipede, Asteroids, and Breakout, is expanding its reach into the world of physical art. To commemorate its 50th anniversary and honor the iconic Atari 2600 gaming console, the company unveiled a collection of 2,600 NFTs in September 2022. These digital art pieces, crafted by Brazilian pop culture artist Butcher Billy, quickly gained traction, selling out within hours of their release. While Atari NFTs shine in digital wallets, they now have the opportunity to be showcased as framed prints and posters.
Transforming Digital Assets into Tangible Art
In an exciting collaboration with Pixels, a leader in print-on-demand services, Atari is now offering NFT owners a chance to convert their digital collectibles into stunning physical artwork. Starting immediately, holders of Atari NFTs can visit AtariPrints.com, link their Ethereum wallets, and turn their NFTs into framed prints or posters. These products come in a variety of sizes ranging from 10″ x 12″ to 32″ x 40″ and offer a broad range of custom framing and matting options. Pixels’ advanced technology allows for the quick transformation of NFTs into physical products, making it easier than ever for collectors to display their digital assets.
Seamless Integration with Print-on-Demand Technology
Pixels, the company powering AtariPrints.com, utilizes its sophisticated print-on-demand technology to manage the production and shipping of physical products. Once an NFT is purchased, Pixels handles manufacturing and logistics through a network of 16 global facilities, ensuring that all orders are fulfilled within 3-4 business days. The platform also provides a 30-day money-back guarantee, enhancing customer confidence in their purchases. Sean Broihier, CEO of Pixels, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting how the rise of NFTs aligns perfectly with their long-standing mission to support artists and brands in selling print-on-demand products.
Streamlined Solutions for NFT Creators
According to Broihier, the opportunity to convert NFTs to physical art products simplifies the process for NFT creators looking to expand their business into the physical realm. Fine Art America’s CEO, also Broihier, reiterated the potential of this collaboration, noting that their print-on-demand services have successfully transformed digital images into physical products for millions of creators. This partnership with Atari exemplifies the innovative possibilities that arise when digital assets can be seamlessly translated into tangible items.

Atari NFT holders can take advantage of a special offer, receiving a 20% discount on their first purchase while also entering a chance to win one of 260 $100 credits towards their order, along with free shipping. This initiative not only incentivizes current NFT owners but also encourages new collectors to engage with the Atari brand.
