Sonic Frontiers is a 3D platformer and action-adventure game. The player, Sonic, explores the Starfall Islands, which consist of various biomes including flowery fields, forests, ancient ruins, and deserts. Sonic retains his abilities from previous Sonic the Hedgehog games: he runs at high speeds, collects rings, grinds on rails, and homes in on enemies to attack.
Sonic Frontiers is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
