Sega slows down its Sonic Mania PC release: It’s coming August 29

If you want Sega’s new throwback Sonic The Hedgehog game on PC, you’re going to have to wait an extra two weeks. The publisher revealed today that Sonic Mania is coming out August 29 instead of August 15. The 16-bit-style platformer, which remixes many of the visuals and elements of the earliest Sonic games, will still hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on its original release date.

In a livestream on Sonic The Hedgehog’s official YouTube account, Sega explained that Sonic Mania requires more optimization on PC. The company wants to ensure it runs the same on all platforms, and it was able to hit that with the consoles. But it will need two more weeks to hit that target for players on Windows.
