Letter by letter, just like NES and SNES and basically any acronym that isn't meant to spell out a word.
There aren't really any rules (in English, anyway) on how to pronounce acronyms. Plenty of them are spoken as if they were a word (NATO, ROM, AWOL, ASBO, AIDS, etc). It's a matter of what's customary, and a word like TAS is so new and niche that nobody really knows how to pronounce it.

I say the individual letters "T-A-S" which is standard procedure for me with acronyms.

T-A-S. I just find saying it like "tass" or "tase" odd.

"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate
