Now you can run not only three SEGA Mega Drive games and a Mega CD game but also 12 Game Gear games…

SEGA had previously expanded Sonic Mania (a new 2D classic experience) similarly by adding more content to the game under the Plus subtitle (which initially didn’t run properly due to Denuvo, but it got rid of that and made it slimmer in size). The collection released last summer and has been using Denuvo ever since (and was full of bugs at launch…) is being “plused” similarly. Sonic Origins Plus will be available in digital and retail editions, including the base game and the Plus Expansion Pack, including 12 Sonic Game Gear titles. In addition, you’ll be able to control Knuckles in Sonic CD, and for the first time, Amy Rose will be playable as a character in Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD.

The pack will include the previous DLC (Extreme Missions, Mirror Mode, new character animations, and additional backgrounds and music). The physical version also includes a 20-page art book and a reversible cover that pays homage to Sonic’s classic 90s era. For current owners of Sonic Origins, the Plus Expansion Pack will not be free but will cost $/€10. The twelve Game Gear games are Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, Sonic Blast, Sonic Chaos, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Spinball, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, Tails Adventure and Tails’ Sky Patrol.

The retail version of Sonic Origins Plus will cost $/€40, and SEGA will sell it digitally for the same price (except that it doesn’t include the 20-page art book and alternate cover). With the $10 Plus Expansion Pack, you’ll get all the Sonic Origins DLC if you only own the base game. The collection will be released on June 23 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, 100% that it will still use Denuvo), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
