Sonic’s official 35th anniversary doesn’t land until June, but Sega is already treating 2026 like one long victory lap for the blue blur – dubbed as "Forever Fast" celebrations.
That means early deals, and plenty of them. Amazon has kicked things off with a genuinely massive sale across Sonic the Hedgehog games, 4K Blu-rays, and comics.
There’s a lot here, maybe too much, and not all of it is worth your time. So instead of throwing everything at you, here’s a quick run-through of the deals that actually matter, plus the ones I’d personally spend money on.
Listen, I’m not pretending to be objective here. I love Sonic. Played everything, stuck with it through the rough years, and still show up every time. It’s one of those series that’s just been a constant for me.
I am absolutely giving you my personal recommendations, with expert opinion on prices, but also, this is purely a sale for the Sonic fans like myself.
For starters, I wanted to highlight a couple of standout deals over on Woot. It’s basically Amazon’s scrappier sibling, same account, same Prime perks, but consistently better when it comes to properly steep discounts. If there’s a weirdly good deal floating around, there’s a decent chance it’s hiding there.
The standout is on Sonic X Shadow Generations for just $12.99 on PS5, Switch, and Xbox – undeniably a massive bargain. I love this game so much, and the Shadow portion is some of the best "Sonic" gameplay I've ever had the joy to experience. Play it!
The other highlight at Woot is the latest, and critically acclaimed, game – Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. It's just $29.99 for Nintendo Switch, and you can upgrade that to the Switch 2 version for just $10 as well!
But let's take a look at what else is up for grabs as well. This time, directly from Amazon, you can save big on all three of the live-action Sonic films, with my favorite deal being on the Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Steelbook 4K Blu-ray, which is now just $17.14 (down from $25.99).
There's also Sonic 3 for $19.99, alongside the OG film for $12.59 on 4K, or the Limited Collector's Edition on Blu-ray for $9.09. That also includes the exclusive mini posters for the film, alongside physical copies on Blu-ray and DVD, and a code to download the film digitally.
To finish up my highlights, I wanted to call out the discounts on the Sonic the Hedgehog (2018-) IDW collection of comics, with volume 1-3 collection currently down to just $26.92.
The hardcover collections are a little pricier, but also experiencing hefty discounts right now as well. It's worth noting that these hardcover options are titled as "Volumes" but they shouldn't be confused with the "Volumes" that they are also encompassing.
For example Vol. 1 of the IDW Collection collects the first 12 issues from volumes 1-3 (Fallout, The Fate of Dr. Eggman, and Battle For Angel Island), while Vol. 2 of the collects issues #13–20 from volumes 4 and 5 (Infection and Crisis City), and so on.
Sonic the Hedgehog, Vol. 21: Reprise is also up for preorder with a small discount, currently available for $15.83 and releasing later this month on April 21 as one of the biggest comics of the year so far. Vol. 20 released in December last year, and is also discounted at Amazon right now, down to $13.93.
