Sonic Origins also adds additional game modes and missions, which allow players to unlock content in an in-game museum. The games are playable in their original format and a new widescreen format that removes lives.

It was released internationally on 23 June 2022 as a part of the Sonic franchise's 30th anniversary, with versions coming to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. It was developed by both Sega and Headcannon, and published by Sega.
