Sonic turned 35 years old yesterday, and SEGA celebrated with a live charity stream that was part fundraiser, part showcase and part fan event (I guess our invite got lost in the mail?). In any case, a LOT was revealed yesterday. So much so that instead of making a dozen articles I thought it would be easiest to present a handy list of everything we learned yesterday, from game reveals to brand partnerships and more! So read on to see what Sonic and SEGA have planned for fans!
Today, SEGA officially released the free Puyo Puyo content for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds! Players can now speed around the track as Arle.
