This plus the delisting has fueled rumors ꦍthat an announcement✨ about Sega's promised reboots is coming.
That appears to be the only game affected on PlayStation and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch. However, most of the games that make up the collection which are available to buy individually through Steam and the Xbox Games Store are being delisted too. The origiꦑnal Golden Axe trilogy, Ristar, Altered Beast, and Columns among them, the only games from the collection that don't seem to be affected are the Sonic ones which will not be leaving storefronts a few hours from now.
Sega Will Be Delisting A Lot Of Games From Multiple Stores Later Today
Buy Crazy Taxi Now Before It's Too Late
The mass delisting of Sega games doesn't end with the Genesis alone. In fact, the biggest game being removed from Steam and the Xbox Games Store today is arguably 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Crazy Taxi. A part of the Dreamcast Collection bundle, which is also leaving Steam today, it and Jet Set Radio being a part of today's removals suggests their departures might have something to do with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:tꦐhe confirmed reboots for both of those series.
If you already own any of the games being delisted today, or buy them beofre they're delisted, you will st🧜ill be able ✤to play them after they have been removed from digital storefronts.
Even though the games will be delisted today, Sega still hasn't explained why the games are being removed from sale. Hopefully, there will be some sort of release date reveal for its Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio reboots soon, and since the games won't be available to buy anywhere digitally starting tomo𒉰rrow, you'd hope those currently unknown release dates are right around the corner.

Th𒈔e thing is, there are no known plans for the bulk of the games being removed from sale today. You'd think Sega must have something planned and we just don't know about it yet. Perhaps we'll hear something from them at The Game Aღwards, but if that's the plan, it's odd that Sega would delist the games this weekend, almost a week before this year's event.
