Big Sonic Origins Plus update now live (patch notes)

SEGA and the Sonic Team have released a new brand update for the Sonic Origins Plus compilation which is available now on the Nintendo Switch platform and other systems. This is a fairly large patch for the classic collection, bringing with it new features such as a new “nearest neighbor” pixel rendering mode and changes and improvements for the various games on offer, which presumably were meant to have been there at launch. Here’s the full patch notes courtesy of SEGA.

Sonic Origins Plus Patch Notes:
