Video game companies frequently delist older titles upon the release of remastered versions, and Sega is no exception. The company is set to remove the original Sonic Generations from the market ahead of the upcoming remaster, Sonic x Shadow Generations. However, fans of the game can take comfort in knowing that the original version will still be accessible.
In an announcement via the official Sonic the Hedgehog account, Sega confirmed that Sonic Generations will be delisted as a standalone title on September 9. In a move to preserve the classic, the game will continue to be available as part of bundles on digital platforms. Players who have already purchased Sonic Generations will also retain the ability to download it.
In addition, Sonic Generations can still be found for Xbox 360, benefiting from backwards compatibility on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Currently, new copies of Sonic Generations for Xbox 360 are available at a reasonable price, making it a great find for avid gamers looking to add the title to their collection before it becomes more scarce.
As for the upcoming Sonic x Shadow Generations, this remaster will feature the original game alongside a new title, Shadow Generations, both of which unfold concurrently. The release date for Sonic x Shadow Generations is set for October 25, and it will be available on a variety of platforms including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
