As digital lifestyles evolve, the rapid growth of home-based activities and gaming culture is leading brands to find new ways to engage with this world more closely. Inspired by this insight, McDonald&#8217;s T\u00fcrkiye has developed a creative solution targeting one of the most fundamental challenges. They offer a Pro Gamer Menu, the \u2018Archie\u2019 for Gamers device is designed to keep the character in motion, helping ensure an uninterrupted gaming experience.<\/p>\n<p>2 minutes read<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Pro Gamer Menu with an \u2018Archie\u2019 for Gamers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In online gaming, even a brief meal break can lead to being kicked out of the game, interrupted missions, or disrupted in-game progress. Focusing on a challenge that gamers have long tried to overcome with their own workarounds, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mcdonaldsturkiye\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McDonald&#8217;s T\u00fcrkiye<\/a> introduces \u2018Archie\u2019 for Gamers, a device that enables gamers to enjoy both their meal and gameplay simultaneously. Designed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tbwaistanbul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TBWA\\Istanbul<\/a>, a leading agency shaping the advertising and marketing landscape with its award-winning works, the campaign brings this idea to life through a distinctive brand experience.<\/p>\n<p>Available with the Pro Gamer Menu, Archie features a flexible design inspired by the brand&#8217;s iconic Golden Arches. It brings the controller&#8217;s analog sticks together, allowing the character to continue moving when the player is briefly away from the screen (AFK). Offered for a limited time exclusively through delivery orders, the Pro Gamer Menu includes a Big Mac\u00ae, medium fries, a medium Coke, and 8-piece onion rings.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;Turning gamer insight into experience&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u00d6zde\u015f D\u00f6nen Artak, CMO of McDonald&#8217;s T\u00fcrkiye, commented on the campaign: &#8220;Being away from the screen during online gameplay &#8211; especially in high-intensity moments &#8211; can directly disrupt the flow of the game. That is why many players turn to different workarounds. We transformed this behaviour into a gamer insight and made Archie part of the McDonald&#8217;s experience by offering it as a gift to customers who order the Pro Gamer Menu.&#8221; Artak added that McDonald&#8217;s T\u00fcrkiye will continue to position the brand through creative, solution-oriented campaigns going forward.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DWoIUmVEXCn\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">Dit bericht op Instagram bekijken<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DWoIUmVEXCn\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Een bericht gedeeld door McDonald&#8217;s Tu\u0308rkiye (@mcdonaldsturkiye)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>About McDonald&#8217;s T\u00fcrkiye<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Brand Finance&#8217;s &#8220;Global 25 Most Valuable Restaurants 2026&#8221; report, McDonald&#8217;s, recognized as the world&#8217;s most valuable restaurant brand, opened its first location in T\u00fcrkiye in 1986.
