Sonic Pico Park launches today, November 12, 2026, bringing the cooperative puzzle gameplay of the Pico Park series into the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. The game is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam.
What happened?
Developed by TECOPARK in partnership with SEGA, Sonic Pico Park is a 2D action-puzzle game where cooperation is essential. Players must work together to reach the goal plate on the right side of each stage. Every character can use Sonic's Spin Dash, and stages include rings, loops and springs.
The title supports 2 to 8 players locally or online, with cross-play across platforms. Up to 7 local players can join an online session from a single PC.
Why does this matter?
The launch marks a collaboration between the popular indie Pico Park series and the Sonic universe in the franchise's 35th anniversary year. Characters such as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Silver, Blaze and others (including Metal Sonic and Dr. Eggman in updates) appear in pixel art style.
The simple "reach the goal together" formula combined with classic Sonic elements makes the game accessible for groups of friends, families or casual players.
What changes in practice?
Starting today, Sonic and co-op fans can download Sonic Pico Park from the digital stores of supported platforms. Pricing varies by region (around €9.99 in some European stores). The game is digital-only and supports multiple languages.
Official trailers show the cooperative gameplay with Sonic pixel-art characters.
