Reminder: PS Plus Extra Adds Sonic X Shadow Generations in USA, UK

As part of Sony’s experimental new PS Plus Extra rollout, subscribers in the US and UK – and Japan, although I don’t think there are many of you reading – can download and play Sonic X Shadow Generations now.

Readers from around the rest of the world will need to wait until 16th June, although don’t be too disheartened, as the new schedule means you’ll get the rest of the games faster than the US and UK.

If you’re confused by all this, we shared a full schedule through here, but it only applies to the US, UK, and Japan. Members from all other countries will get the full lineup on 16th June. I assume this new experimental rollout strategy is all about increasing engagement, and giving subscribers a reason to login every week.

For what it’s worth, Sonic X Shadow Generations is a top-notch Sonic game, bundling a remaster of the PS3’s Sonic Generations with a new campaign starring returning character Shadow.

In our 8/10 review, we said:

“Sonic X Shadow Generations is a great two-for-one deal, but for us, the antihero's half of the package steals the show. While the remaster of the 13-year-old platformer is perfectly fine, Shadow's brand new campaign outshines it with much improved gameplay and level design. The older game definitely shows its age in some regards, but bundling together one of the most beloved Sonic titles with one of the best 3D entries in recent memory makes for a compelling double feature.”
