Sega has announced it will be delisting multiple retro titles including the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive Classics collection from the Xbox digital store.
These titles will be removed from Xbox's storefront on 6th December 2024. Sega will also be delisting multiple games from Steam, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation platforms on the same date.
In a Q&A on its support page, Sega mentions how these games will remain "available in your library" to download and play after they've been removed from the storefront, but will no longer be available for purchase.
"Select games and bundles will be delisted from virtual stores, becoming unavailable for new purchases. Your owned games will still be available in your library."
Here are the Sega titles being delisted on Xbox next month:
