"No Plans" For Sonic Origins Physical Release Right Now, But Sega Is Aware Of Demand

The release of Sonic Origins is fast approaching, and as excited as many fans are about this upcoming 4-in-1 collection, there's still one question that keeps popping up - will it be getting a physical release?

A few Sonic Origins FAQs:
▶️ It will be on Steam! Store page coming this morning.
▶️ The animations are in all versions of the game! They were made by @sega and @powerhouseanim.
▶️ Digital only. No plans for physical at the moment.

Sega of America's social media manager, Katie Chrzanowski, has touched on this once again in the latest Sonic Official YouTube livestream - reiterating how a physical release currently isn't planned right now. The good news is the team (we guess that's Sega) is "aware" of the demand for a physical version. Fingers crossed.
 

"There isn't one planned at the moment, I have seen a lot of comments asking for one, so the team has been made aware of that, there is a want for a physical release."

It follows on from the same source confirming (via social media) there would be no physical version for Origins when the release date was revealed last week:
 

For a physical collector, it means you'll either have to go with a digital copy available via the Switch eShop, and multiple other digital platforms, or hold out in the hope Sega will announce a hard copy of the game sooner rather than later.
