Overview

• Sega has removed all in-app purchases and made nine retro titles free to download on iOS and Android ahead of their removal.
• The affected games include Crazy Taxi Classic, Streets of Rage Classic and Streets of Rage 2, Super Monkey Ball: Sakura Edition, Virtua Tennis Challenge, Golden Axe Classics, Shining Force Classics, Sonic CD Classic, and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II.
• Recent in-game pop-up notices inform players that official support is ending while assuring them that offline play will continue.
• These nine titles are the last remnants of the Sega Forever program, which Sega formally discontinued in late 2023.
• Sega has not provided a timeline for when the games will be pulled from Apple’s and Google’s app stores, so users must download them before they disappear.
