Sega to Delist Genesis Classics on December 6

SEGA has announced that the SEGA Genesis Classics collection will be delisted from various digital platforms, including the PlayStation Store and Nintendo Switch eShop, on December 6, 2024. While customers who have already purchased the collection will retain access to download and play it, the reasons behind the delisting remain unexplained. Alongside this, several individual titles will also be removed from platforms like Steam and Xbox, although some will still be accessible through the Nintendo Switch Online service. This collection, which features over 50 classic games, was originally released in 2018 and has been celebrated for its nostalgic appeal. Fans speculate that the delisting could signal plans for a new bundle or project from SEGA. The removal of these titles raises concerns about the preservation of classic games in the digital era.
