Sonic Generations Steam news – August 9th, 2024
This is clearly in preparation for the October 25th, 2024 launch of Sonic X Shadow Generations, a remaster of Sonic Generations.
If you want to own the original Sonic Generations, buy it now on Steam or Playstation. While the Steam news posting didn’t explicitly mention console, it seems like a safe bet that the Playstation version will disappear since the Xbox version is already gone! Thanks to Tom Surtees for the heads up on this news. I will put it in the Watch List and get the game page updated.
