Sonic Generations Will be Delisted as a Standalone Title in September
The practice of delisting games when they’re getting remasters is frustratingly common, and sadly, Sega, too, is taking that route with Sonic Generations ahead of the launch of its expanded remaster, Sonic X Shadow Generations. The company is, however, doing so with a caveat.
Taking to Twitter, Sega recently announced that the original Sonic Generations will be delisted on all platforms on September 9. However, in order to “help preserve the game” following feedback from fans, the company says the title will only be delisted as a standalone purchase. That means you will still have the option to purchase it “via bundles of other iconic Sonic titles on Steam and Xbox”, Sega says.
Those who already own the game will, of course, be able to redownload and play it whenever they wish, while Sega has also confirmed that the original game’s Steam mods won’t be affected by its delisting either. Though the fact that the game is being delisted in any capacity is certainly disappointing, we can at least take solace in the fact that it isn’t being completely removed.
Its expanded remaster, Sonic X Shadow Generations, is due out on October 25 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Therefore, Sonic Generations will still be available via bundles of other iconic Sonic titles on Steam and Xbox. Existing owners of the title will still be able to download and play, as well. Lastly, we are happy to confirm that mods on the Steam version will NOT be affected!
