Before Sonic X Shadow Generations launched on 25th October 2024, Sega ran a promotion in which it gave away a free Sonic Jam character skin to those who signed up to the company's emails.
Well, that promotion is long gone now, and Sega has decided to offer the skin to all owners of Sonic X Shadow Generations, regardless of platform (thanks, Sonic Stadium).
So all you need to do is head to your respective Nintendo Switch eShop and download the skin at no extra cost. The game will likely also have a direct link to the product from its main menu to make things a bit easier for you. Either way, it's worth jumping on if you're looking to add an extra nugget of nostalgia to your experience.
We highly recommend you give Sonic X Shadow Generations a shot if you're after an honest-to-God great 3D Sonic game. We awarded it a score of 9/10 and said that it "combines two excellent campaigns to create what is likely the very best 3D Sonic game so far".

What about the other newsletter subscription skins for other games such as Modern Amy for Sonic Superstars or the SOAP/SA2 shoes for Sonic Frontiers?
HECK YEAH
[mandatory filler because NL]
Nice, happy for those interested who originally missed it!
This is great now I can get Jam on my PS4 version. My Switch obviously got it on day one.
It’s a pretty great skin, but I don’t want to be known as the guy who owns the Sonic Jam skin when I’m dead.
Now we are all Scott the Woz
I'm still waiting for the comic book skins to be made available for Sonic Superstars. As a person who lives in one of the 34 states without a Kroger, I found it rather impractical to travel multiples states over just to buy stuff I do not need just to get enough points to buy a skin for a video game. At least with IHOP those things are everywhere and the skin was made available for free months after the promotion.
What about SA1 Sonic? He's still not available publically.
@TheDragonDAFan Never gonna reappear again. Just like LEGO Eggman, who was a pre-order code.
As it should have been, honestly. I really don't like the idea of subscribing to Sega's newsletter solely for a skin. It fills my inbox with junk and artificially boosts the newsletter's numbers because of FOMO. Not the biggest deal in the world, but I can't say I'm a fan of the idea. Still, nice to see that it's available this way now.
@MirrorFate2 The IHOP promotional skin reappeared. What's stopping the comic book skins from coming back?
I don't even know what Sonic looks like in this game. Turned on the Adventure skin the day of...not turned if off yet! That is my sonic :0)
But I do like the look of this one too!
A nice extra but Shame it's limited to classic Sonic, as the point of that part of Sonic Jam was he was in 3D. Still I really enjoyed the Switch port and the 30fps didn't bother me that much, I also bought the PS4 version but ended up playing more on Switch.
This was available on Steam right after launch. I don’t understand why SEGA dragged its feet releasing it everywhere else. We’re still missing the newsletter skins from Frontiers and Superstars on consoles, but PC players are good to go. Weird.
Okay, for real, this is how it should have been from the beginning. Why on earth do you even ask people to sign up to the newsletter in the first place? They're only doing it because they want the skin, so just give them the skin! Or don't. I would rather pay $0.99 for this novelty skin than sign up to a damn newsletter I would otherwise not give a toss about!
Man oh man I wish I had a copy of Sonic Jam. Anyone have a copy they'll give me?
This is great, I'd like to see more of this. I hate seeing really cool stuff like this locked away from late-comers.
Okay, now do Modern Amy in Superstars.
Cause I was actually supposed to get that code and I’m still refreshing my inbox looking for it lol.
aw man I thought I was special
