Nine beloved Sega mobile game ports are about to disappear from the Google Play Store and iOS App Store, giving fans only a short time to download them at no cost. While Sega hasn't announced specific removal dates yet, players should act quickly to secure these classic titles.

The 'Sega Forever' program, launched in 2017, brought numerous iconic Sega games to mobile devices. This initiative offered free access to classic Sega titles supported by in-game advertisements, making them accessible to new generations of players.

Latest Game Information

While the Sega Forever collection remains popular eight years after its launch, nine titles are scheduled for removal. Notifications within these games confirm the impending delistings, which include fan favorites like Crazy Taxi Classic, Golden Axe Classics, and Shining Force Classics. Other notable games facing removal are Sonic CD Classic, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2, Super Monkey Ball: Sakura Edition, Virtua Tennis Challenge, and the first two Streets of Rage games - Sega's groundbreaking beat-em-up series.

Sega hasn't revealed exact removal dates, and historical patterns suggest these games might not all disappear simultaneously. However, since the delisting notices appeared around the same time, a coordinated removal remains possible.

Players can currently download these Sega mobile games from both app stores. Adding them to your library now guarantees continued access even after delisting.

The future of in-game advertisements in these titles remains uncertain post-delisting. While Sega could technically maintain ad support, they might choose to discontinue monetization for removed games. Sega occasionally removes older titles, but mobile game delistings are relatively rare. Some of these games, like Virtua Tennis Challenge, still maintain active player bases - ranking as the 104th most popular sports game on iOS as of June 24.
