Sonic Superstars is indeed a revisit of the retro Sonic adventures improved using modern visuals and some new game modes to diversify the overall experience, bringing Sonic and his crew back again on another adventure in Northstar Islands to stop Dr. Eggman from all the evil things he is doing.
With Sonic Superstars, you will get to play the main campaign either solo or in local split/screen co-op mode with up to 4 players. There’s also an online 4v4 Battle Mode where you get to challenge other players in your region. The Battle Mode is also available in local split/screen play.
Sonic Superstars: Release Date And Time
Sonic Superstars will be available on October 17 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The release time will be different based on your platform. Here is a full breakdown of when the game unlocks on each specific platform:

Sonic Superstars: Price And Editions
Sonic Superstars will be released in Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions. The former costs $59.99 across all platforms, while the latter is priced at $69.99. If you pre-order any version of the game you will receive access to a Lego Dr. Eggman skin for free. However, if you want to gain access to more cosmetic items as well as game accessories, you should get the Digital Deluxe edition that includes the items below:
- LEGO Fun Pack
- Sonic Rabbit Skin
- Mecha Sonic Skin for Battle Mode
- Bonus Main Menu Wallpapers
- Digital Artbook & Mini Original Soundtrack
Hopefully, the game is quite low-spec friendly on PC despite some visual upgrades over the retro Sonic experience. You can run it with 6 GB of RAM and a 400 series Nvidia GPU chipset at the lowest preset. Also, Sonic Superstars will not be using Denuvo anti-tamper tech, which could be good news for PC players.
