Sega has announced that they will be removing over 60 classic games from various digital storefronts next month. This decision has left many players disappointed, even though Sega has assured that those who already own the games will still be able to download and play them. However, the sudden removal of so many beloved titles is still a tough pill to swallow.
The delisted games will include popular titles like Crazy Taxi, Altered Beast, and Sonic 3D Blast. While Sega has mentioned that they are working on new versions of some classic games, the removal of these titles will make it harder for fans to access and enjoy them in the coming month.
Players who have purchased the Sega Genesis Classics package on PlayStation and Switch will also be affected, as these games will no longer be available for purchase. On Xbox, 12 different Sega classics, including some backwards-compatible 360 games, will be removed from the digital storefront. Additionally, 62 Sega games on Steam will also be delisted on December 6.
Despite the disappointment of many players, Sega has not provided a clear explanation for the removal of these games. Fans are hopeful that Sega will come up with a better way for them to replay these classics in the future. In the meantime, players are encouraged to make the most out of the next month before these games are taken down.
The full list of Sega games being removed from Steam in December includes a wide range of titles, from platformers like Sonic Spinball to action games like Virtua Fighter 2. Fans of retro gaming will surely miss these classic titles, but hopefully, Sega will find a way to make them accessible again in the future. Until then, players can cherish the memories of these iconic games and look forward to what Sega has in store for the future of gaming.
