Rob Wyatt joins the Atari VCS team

June 28, 2018 by Andrew Newton

Industry veterans, Atari, have announced that game platform architecture expert Rob Wyatt and his company Tin Giant are officially joining the Atari VCS team.

Rob Wyatt is one of those people that the average gamer won’t know about yet should have much to thank him for.  Wyatt has worked at Microsoft on their DirectX and Windows kernel development teams and was also the system architect of the original Xbox game console, he’s also contributed to the graphics systems of the PlayStation 3 as well as contributing to many AAA titles and movie special effects.

“We have made a commitment to Atari fans to make the VCS the very best game and home entertainment platform it can be,” said Michael Arzt, Atari COO of Connected Devices. “After months of working with Rob and Tin Giant to define product requirements for the Atari VCS hardware and operating system, we are excited to finally and officially announce our partnership. Rob and his experienced team are working to squeeze every possible ounce of performance out of the Atari VCS hardware.”

“Who wouldn’t want to be part of bringing Atari back? From the moment the AMD team introduced me to Atari and the VCS project, I have been intrigued and inspired by the opportunity that it represents,” said Rob Wyatt, CEO of Tin Giant. “The unique open platform and modern approach that Atari is taking will let users enjoy a broad range of new and existing games and other entertainment, while also delivering some unique options to customize the platform to their own tastes by combining additional software and classic content all in one place.”
