Sega has announced that its Sega Classic games and collections will be delisted from online stores starting December 6, 2024, at 11:59 PM PT.
This means that none of these games or collections will be purchasable across all digital storefronts. So, if you desire any of these games and haven’t yet bought them, now is the time to do so since you’ll retain access following their store delistings.
Additionally, “select individual classic titles will still be playable for those who have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.”
You can view the full list of impacted titles below.
