Roblox is getting an official Sonic the Hedgehog game backed by Sega called Sonic Speed Simulator. It's available for purchase for now but will go free-to-play this weekend on April 16 at 10 AM EST.
According to Eurogamer, the publisher and developer for Sonic Speed Simulator is Gamefam, a studio completely dedicated to creating content for the Roblox platform.
Sonic Speed Simulator will receive weekly updates and players can run through multiple unique worlds, including the iconic Emerald Hills. By racing against friends, players can earn rewards such as pets and Sonic character skins. If Sonic Speed Simulator reaches 10,000 "likes" from players in Roblox, then the players in the Roblox community can receive an exclusive Sonic the Hedgehog skin.
"The game is now available on the Roblox platform and marks the first time that a world-renowned, AAA gaming character has been officially featured on Roblox," says Gamefam in a separate statement. Roblox is available on iOS, Android, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
