Although there has been no official announcement, Sega has revealed that it’s discontinuing support for nine retro games that were ported to iOS and Android several years ago. Before that happens, the company has made all the games completely free and removed all in-app purchases, as spotted by Android Authority.
The list includes the following titles, which are still available for download through Apple’s and Google’s mobile app stores:
The discounted titles have been recently updated with a pop-up message explaining that “support for this game will be discontinued, but you can continue playing offline!”
The games were originally ported to iOS and Android through Sega’s Forever program, which was discontinued in late 2023. Several years ago the company removed several games, including Phantasy Star Classics, from the Google Play and iOS app stores, and it’s expected that these nine will also eventually be removed, although Sega hasn’t specified when that will happen. However, any games that have already been downloaded and installed on a tablet or mobile device can still be played even after they’re delisted.
