From the same team that brought us the visually stunning PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox – Cuphead: Ms Chalice, which we have proudly sitting on our mantlepiece, comes an all-new collaboration. This time SEGA are getting the PowerA treatment, with a line of four Sonic accessories for your Xbox and Switch consoles. Let’s take a look!
Sonic Speed!
A leader in officially licensed gaming accessories, PowerA is excited by teaming up with one of the most iconic mascots in gaming. Akio Strasser – Senior Global Marketing Director for the company – had this to say:
As big fans ourselves, the PowerA team is thrilled to partner with the team at SEGA to bring Sonic the Hedgehog and friends to our controllers and accessories…With more than 30 years of Sonic, and multiple generations of gamers experiencing this franchise, we are so excited to bring these characters to life on our accessories for the first time.
