Monday’s News – Devil May Cry 1–4 on GOG and SEGA Delisting of Retro Mobile Games Likely!

For today’s news, we have the arrival of Devil May Cry 1 -4 on GOG.com without DRM, and SEGA has made multiple mobile titles free on Android and iOS before presumably delisting them in the near future. Please see below for more details!

Devil May Cry HD Collection & Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition Now on GOG

This week’s headliner news is that Devil May Cry 1 through 4 have been released at Good Old Games! They come in the form of a two-pack bundle including the Devil May Cry HD Collection which contains the first three games, and Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition. If you want to pick them up, they are available collectively in the Devil May Cry HD Collection & 4SE Bundle which can be found here. The current price for it is $14.84 with a 67% discount. The regular price for the bundle will be $44.99.

Buying the two games separately is also an option, but the deal isn’t as good. The HD Collection by itself is $9.89, at a 67% discount, with the regular price being $29.99. On the other hand, Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition is $7.49, which is a 70% discount, while the retail price is $24.99. This means that getting the games separately is $17.38, while the bundle price is a bit lower at $14.84.

According to the sales pages for the titles, the things that GOG did in preparation for releasing them include,

Validated stability.
Verified compatibility with Windows 10 and 11.
Added Cloud Saves support

I recommend buying the bundle if you want these games DRM-free on modern hardware. Of course, the titles are M-Rated, so be aware of that.

SEGA Has Made Multiple Mobile Games Free Before Presumably Delisting Them

Earlier this week, SEGA made multiple classic retro titles on mobile devices (both Android and iOS) free of charge, presumably prior to delisting them. It is not known when the games may/will be delisted. The games that seem to be affected include,

Crazy Taxi Classic
Golden Axe Classics
Shining Force Classics
Sonic the Hedgehog Classic
Sonic CD Classic
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Classic
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II
Streets of Rage Classic
Streets of Rage 2 Classic
Super Monkey Ball: Sakura Edition
Virtua Tennis Challenge

Many of these are Sega Genesis releases, while some are newer games such as Crazy Taxi and Virtua Tennis. Both the Golden Axe and Shining Force titles include multiple games in one app. These changes come approximately six months after SEGA delisted dozens of other titles across a variety of online storefronts back in December 2024. If you want to download these titles, please see the list of games with separate links for Android and iOS devices down below.

Full disclosure: Much of this list was copied from a post at the FreeGamesFindings subreddit. I added Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 to the list. I have not checked every link for accuracy. Also, I first learned about these price changes from Video Games Chronicle.com, so credit to them for reporting on this as well!
