 Sega announced in a livestream last week that the PC version of Sonic Mania has been delayed for two weeks. This moves the PC game’s release from August 15 to August 29.
According to the steam, the PC version is getting ‘a bit more optimisation’, as the team are dedicated to not putting out a game that isn’t ‘the best it can be.’ The console versions are still on schedule for their release tomorrow.
As disappointing as this news will be for those who’ve pre-ordered the game on Steam, all customers who’ve placed an actual PC pre-order will receive a copy of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for free. Preview coverage and early impressions for Sonic Mania have been pretty positive, so here’s hoping it’s worth the wait.
You can watch the livestream below. The news of the delay on the PC version comes very early, at about 45 seconds in.
Sonic Mania is due for release on August 15 on PS4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. The new PC release date will now be August 29.
