Sonic Frontiers is the latest adventure for Sonic the Hedgehog, and it's finally been given an official release date. The first open world title of the Sonic franchise, it finds Sonic heading to the Starfall Islands in a bid to collect all the powerful Chaos Emeralds. Sonic and his friends Miles "Tails" Prower and Amy Rose will need the Chaos Emeralds if they want to find a way home after falling through a mysterious wormhole.

Sonic will have many of the same abilities he's had in previous games, including a powerful double jump, boost power, combo attacks, and more. Players will be able to customize Sonic's controls and eventually upgrade his speed, attacks, ring capacity, and other abilities as the game wears on.
But when will you be able to get your hands on Sonic Frontiers? We've got everything you need to know about when you can jump in. Here's the thing: It won't be that much longer, especially if you're looking to clear your schedule for the rest of the year.
Sonic Frontiers: Release Date and Preorder Bonuses
Sonic Frontiers has a confirmed release date of November 8, 2022.
Sonic Frontiers is scheduled to launch on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It'll hit all platforms on the same day. After some time where Sega had demurred from offering an exact day for debut, fans were thrilled to finally hear that there would be a new Sonic adventure— with a concrete release date.
And if you're looking to get your own copy of the game with all the fixings, you'll want to do so before it releases so you can get the bonuses available at different retailers. Admittedly, they aren't that much different from each other, but they do differ in terms of what types of SteelBook box you get. If you want Sonic on the cover, you'll probably prefer buying your copy of the game at GameStop. Here's a brief rundown of what each retailer has to offer.
