Sega is removing over 60 classic games from digital platforms like Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch after Christmas. While existing purchases will remain accessible, new purchases will no longer be available. The company did not give a specific reason for the move, but speculation suggests that they may be preparing to release new “classic collections” in digital stores.
Some of Sega’s games, like the Mega Drive and Genesis Classics and Dreamcast collections, will continue to be available for purchase. Sega aims to attract customers through nostalgia and increase demand for their classic games.
