Over a year after its announcement, Sonic Origins is finally available to play as of June 23, 12AM EST. It can be purchased on Xbox, Playstation, and Switch platforms for $40, or $45 for the deluxe version that comes with $8 of DLC (including music from other Sonic games and additional animations in the menu).
We’ve been covering this game for the last few days. You can check out our review here, and find a bunch of footage from the game here.
Xbox Gamers be aware – the game is currently broken! Sonic Origins doesn’t load achievements, and unlocking an achievement doesn’t count. Comes up with “Achievements Aren’t Supported” and the game won’t show on your gamer profile.
Deleting your save and deleting/reinstalling the game won’t work either. Everything in the game functionally works, but it’s still broken on release.
Lots of bugs in game as well. Not sure what console (probably PC), but I was watching Prem get pretty flustered every time he flew off the map instantaneously or fell thru all the world layers (unable to collide with anything including the ground)
I am ready for the game despite the bugs, I think the game is good.
