Sonic Superstars is available now on all platforms, but PC players can snag the Blue Blur's latest outing at a discount at Fanatical. With this deal, Sonic Superstars standard edition is just $52.19 (normally $60), while the Deluxe edition is down to $60.89 (from $70). Both editions will be delivered instantly as Steam keys.

Purchasing Sonic Superstars at Fanatical also gets you a 5%-off coupon code to use on a future Fanatical purchase.

After Sonic Frontiers experimented with open-world Sonic gameplay, Sonic Superstars is a fresh return to the classic side-scrolling formula. Sonic is joined by his familiar pals Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and the all-new character Trip, who team up to take down series villains Dr. Eggman and Fang the Hunter. Sonic and his friends are all playable solo, in local co-op modes with up to four players, or in the online battle mode for up to eight players.
