There are some notable titles missing, namely the Sonic the Hedgehog games, but Sega promises that “every single Mega Drive game” will support the Hub and mods at some point.


It isn’t clear yet how far modders can take things, but at the very least, all the Mega Drive games in the Hub will feature modern updates including controller/keyboard support, local co-op options, and the ability to save at any point.Īmong the long list of Genesis games that are supported in the Hub include classic Sega hits like Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Ecco the Dolphin, Vectorman, Comix Zone, Shinobi III, and the Phantasy Star series. The option to play modded games comes from the connection to the Steam Workshop, where fans can submit and distribute user-created content. The Hub will be part of a free update and available to anyone who’s purchased one of the compatible games.Ĭheck out the Hub in the trailer below, with a shot of the virtual room at the 1-minute mark: The room features a virtual CRT TV (complete with the curved corners effect!) and a Mega Drive console underneath. The feature list is as follows and you can check out it out in the video below.The Mega Drive Classics Hub will launch on April 28th and features a 3D ’90s-style bedroom to act as a library for browsing classic Sega games, similar to the recent Atari Vault collection and its arcade treatment. The Sega Mega Drive Classics Hub is coming to Steam on Thursday, April 28th, released for free to folks who own any of the fifty Mega Drive games on Steam. This allows owners to share modded versions of SEGA titles. The hub is designed to look like a nineties bedroom which is decked out with “SEGA paraphernalia, a shelf full of MEGA Drive games (including the ones you own) and of course a CRT TV”.Īnother feature that’s been added in with this launch is that every single MEGA Drive game now features Steam Workshop support. The Steam Workshop however has became flooded with illegally pirated ROMs (including games being sold through Steam or other platforms) and pornographic. SEGA want to take you back to the nineties with this new feature for all owners of their classic titles. SEGA has just launched the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis Classics Hub on Steam.
