Sega to remove Sonic Generations from digital store shelves in September

In a new statement on Sonic the Hedgehog's official X (Twitter) account, Sega announced that Sonic Generations will disappear from digital stores on 9 September, but players will still have the opportunity to purchase the game through a new bundle. This is probably done to make room for the Sonic X Shadow Generations remaster.

Therefore, Sonic Generations will still be available via bundles of other iconic Sonic titles on Steam and Xbox. Existing owners of the title will still be able to download and play, as well. Lastly, we are happy to confirm that mods on the Steam version will NOT be affected!
