Sega is Considering Launching its Own Subscription Service

"We're thinking something - and discussing something - we cannot disclose right now," says Sega president Shuji Utsumi.

Sega has had a ridiculously good 2024, having enjoyed critical and commercial success with a number of major releases in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Persona 3 Reload, Unicorn Overlord, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, and Sonic x Shadow Generations. To say the least, the company has a strong catalog of games to fall back on- which, for publishers in the modern market, usually means an opportunity for a subscription service.

In fact, that’s something that Sega is very much considering. That’s as per president and COO Shuji Utsumi, who told BBC in an interview that he finds the idea of a Game Pass-style subscription service from Sega “very interesting”, and that Sega is “evaluating some opportunities” in this space.

He added, “We’re thinking something – and discussing something – we cannot disclose right now.”

Of course, Sega would by no means be the first company in the industry to try its hand at a subscription service. The company certainly has a strong catalog of titles to lean on, but whether it’ll be able to enjoy more success with such a service than some others have in recent years will be the big question.

In the meantime, as far as games are concerned, Sega has several major projects currently confirmed to be in development, including Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Virtua Fighter, Project Century, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Streets of Rage Revolution, and more.
