Sonic fans shocked as players grab the latest game before it’s released
SONIC’S next big game is just around the corner, but some people have already finished it.
This is because it has broken the street date, meaning people are playing it before it’s released.
Sonic Superstars is the next game in the popular 2D Sonic series.
Blending 2D platforming with modern 3D graphics, you can play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles or Amy with up to three friends.
Previews of the upcoming Sonic game have been promising, with many critics saying that it’s a return to form for the fast blue hedgehog.
However, those who have been excited to play it, have seen a number of spoilers pop up on streaming and social media.

Releasing on Monday, October 16, 2023, people will be able to enjoy it for themselves next week.
However, some players have had their hands on the game early, which usually occurs when there is a shipping error from retailers.
When people pre-order games online, vendors often promise that they will be delivered the day they are released.
This can be difficult to coordinate with delivery, and so some retailers err on the side of caution in order to ensure that customers get their games on time.

When games are delivered late, some people cancel their order, and purchase them from another store.
This means that some retailers send out their games early, and players can access them before they have launched.
It appears that this is the case with Sonic Superstars, as one person has already streamed the entire game on social media.
If you want to play the game for yourself, then the usual precautions need to be taken in order to avoid spoilers.
Muting terms like ‘Sonic’ and ‘Sonic Superstars’ on social media will help, as well as avoiding these topics on streaming sites like YouTube and Twitch.
