What Platforms Will Sonic X Shadow Generations Be Available On?

Sonic X Shadow Generations will be available on a wide range of platforms, so if you own any major console or system, you should be able to play. The game is launching for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

While Sonic X Shadow Generations will be available in digital form for all platforms, only the PS4, PS5, and Switch will receive a physical release. Unfortunately, Xbox and PC players won’t have the option to purchase a physical copy.

Which PC Stores Are Selling Sonic X Shadow Generations?

Sonic X Shadow Generations will be available on both Steam and the Epic Games Store, giving players the choice of where to purchase the game. Unfortunately, for those who prefer DRM-free options, the game won’t be available on GOG.

Both the Steam and Epic Games Store versions of Sonic X Shadow Generations will include the controversial Denuvo DRM. This could upset many fans, as Denuvo isn’t particularly well-liked within the gaming community.

While Sonic X Shadow Generations is confirmed for the Nintendo Switch, there’s no guarantee it will also release for the console’s rumored successor. However, it would come as a big surprise if it didn’t. At this time, neither the developer nor Nintendo has confirmed any plans for a future port to the Switch's successor. Fans will just have to wait and see as more information about Nintendo's next console is announced.
