A pack-in game (or bundled game) is a game that is included with the purchase of a video game console.

[edit] Characteristics

Pack-in games are intended to be system-selling games that make good use of the positive features of a given system. Sometimes a pack-in game will be changed to a more popular game, or another game will be added, along with the original pack-in, if it is perceived that a newer game will sell more systems. Pack-in games generally are not well-received by critics, though critics tend not to focus on these games, since pack-in games come with no charge. Pack-in games are often the most plentiful games at used game shops.
