On many occasions we have seen that the digital versions of certain video games have an expiration date and at some point they end up disappearing from digital storesThat's what Sonic Generations, one of the best adventures starring SEGA's blue hedgehog, will soon experience, because it has been made official that it will no longer be available next month.
It will be Starting September 9th when the game will no longer be available for purchase on any digital store, which makes sense in part, given that a few weeks later Sonic x Shadow Generations will be released, which is a remaster that will include a new campaign with Shadow as the protagonist. In addition, the SEGA title that will be saying goodbye was published in 2011, so there has been more than enough time to get it.
In any case, this does not mean that this will be its final farewell. The company wanted to make it clear that all those who have their copy will continue to have the opportunity to download it whenever they want. Also, All mods you have received to date will remain activeso it will still be possible to enjoy it in other different ways.
On the other hand, it seems that SEGA wants to bet on the preservation of its products, so there will be another way to get the Sonic Generations original, but it will be through a pack that will contain many other classic Sonic games. The collection in particular will be called Sonic the Hedgehog Legacy Bundle and for 59.99 euros you can play all of the following:
- Sonic Adventure DX

This means that from next month this will become the only way to acquire Sonic Generations. For its part, Sonic x Shadow Generations is scheduled to be released on October 25 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
