SEGA is deleting classic Sonic games ahead of the release of Sonic Origins

SEGA has announced that it will no longer sell Select sound Play digitally after April 20th

The company announced this in a short press release today, without supplying any further paint.

This means that standalone versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic CD will no longer be available in digital stores after this date.

There are a few exceptions: Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 will remain available on Nintendo Switch via SEGA Ages, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will continue to be playable on Nintendo Switch Online + via Sega Genesis.

Granted, you can pick up any games that are delisted via the Sonic Origins compilation. It costs $39.99 / £32.99 on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

However, if you want to buy the games individually, you can do so until May 20th. On PC, you can purchase ports of the games through Steam for $5 each. However, if you’d rather play the beefed up versions, be sure to buy Sonic Origins when it releases on June 23rd.
