It’s been long rumored since the announcement of the game itself, but it’s finally been confirmed that upcoming retro-game-remade Sonic Generations is getting a PC release alongside the console versions.

The listing has popped up on several digital distribution sites, including Direct2Drive and GreenManGaming. Interestingly, it seems the PC release will only cost $30, a $20 drop from the console versions.
