Sonic X Shadow Generation was released late last year, and now it’s gearing up to be a launch title for Nintendo Switch 2. Arriving on June 5, preorders are now open for the game, and there are some enticing preorder bonuses for reserving a copy in advance. If you’re unfamiliar with Sonic X Shadow Generations, it’s essentially two games in one. The first is a remaster of the classic Sonic Generations from 2011. The second is a brand new title, Shadow Generations, that wraps up a story arc beginning way back in 2001--and if you’re playing on Switch 2, you’ll benefit from enhanced graphics and improved frame rates. Reviews have been generally positive for the game, so give it a preorder if you’re interested in playing it later this year.

Sonic X Shadow Generations Switch 2 Preorder Bonuses

Preorder a physical version of Sonic X Shadow Generations for Switch 2, and you’ll get Gerald Robotnik’s Journal, a reversible case cover, and the Sonic Adventure Legacy Skin. The journal is the big selling point, however, as it’s a 28-page logbook detailing the creation of Shadow.

Sonic X Shadow Generations Standard Edition

$50 | Releases June 5

Grab the base game and any eligible preorder bonuses with the standard edition of Sonic X Shadow Generations. Keep in mind that this will get you a 24GB game-key card, meaning you’ll need to download the full game before you start playing.

Beyond Sega, you’ll find dozens of Switch 2 games up for preorder ahead of the console’s June 5 release. The same goes for accessories, with controllers, microSD Express cards, charging docks, and carrying cases available for the upcoming console. We’d strongly recommend investing in at least a carrying case. If you find the Nintendo ones to be too expensive, check out the ones offered by GameStop or these discounted accessories at Amazon.
