Yes! Sonic Rumble is completely free-to-play. To support ongoing development and server maintenance, we offer optional in-game purchases. These let players unlock cosmetic items, like character skins, emotes, and more. Our goal is to ensure that all players, whether they spend or not, have a fair and fun experience.
For more details, troubleshooting, or answers to technical questions, visit the official SEGA Support site[sega.helpshift.com]. It’s regularly updated with helpful articles and support resources!

Sonic Rumble will be available on iOS, Android, Google Play on PC, and Steam at global launch.
Yes, Sonic Rumble features crossplay across all supported platforms, so you can team up with your friends no matter where they play!
Yes, but progress isn’t linked automatically. You’ll need to create a Link ID to transfer data between devices. Just go to “Settings” → “Connect Account” → “Link Data” to obtain your Link ID. Use this Link ID to synchronize your progress between devices. Make sure to store your Link ID somewhere safe!
We don't have a release date to share yet, but as soon as we get closer, we'll update you through our social media and community channels.
Changes to the game that are introduced in Update 1.2 fundamentally reshape the game. This means we need more time to test and optimize the game to build the kind of high-quality, long-lasting Sonic game our players deserve.
Please note that the store pages might indicate a specific date for Sonic Rumble's release. However, this is a placeholder date. The actual release date for the Sonic Rumble Global Launch will be revealed at later date.
No! All progress made during Pre-Launch will carry over to Global Launch.

You can pre-register by pre-registering on mobile (iOS or Android) or by wishlisting Sonic Rumble on Steam. All pre-registrations, pre-orders, and wishlists contribute to the pre-registration total. Simply follow the links on our website: https://sonicrumble.com/prereg-odlev.
Regions with early access to the game during Pre-Launch cannot pre-register on mobile. However, players in these regions can still wishlist the game on Steam to participate.
Pre-registration rewards will be distributed to all players, regardless of whether they participated in the campaign, following the global launch of Sonic Rumble! But remember, the more sign-ups, the more rewards, so if you cannot pre-register yourself, call your friends to action!

We’re running events and releasing new content to make the game fun and exciting for those who already have access. This way, we keep things fresh and give players something awesome to look forward to while we continue preparing for our global launch!
Absolutely! Many of these incredible Skins, Chao, and Stickers will make a comeback once the game is live worldwide, so you won’t miss your chance to grab them. While we cannot guarantee that every cosmetic will return immediately, we will try to give everyone a chance to obtain them eventually. Keep an eye out for updates!
We understand that it can feel frustrating not to be part of the action yet, but rest assured, there will be plenty of opportunities to participate in future events and snag those amazing Skins, Buddies, and Stickers. We’re working hard to make Sonic Rumble available to everyone in the near future, so hang in there!

Sonic Rumble features a variety of exciting modes that keep things fresh and challenge players in different ways.
Although Quick Rumble, Ring Survival, Stage Challenges, and Custom Matches are always available, Squad Mode, Co-Op Mode, and Special Rumble rotate in and out on a weekly schedule:

• Monday to Friday: Squad Mode is available.
  
• Friday to Sunday: Co-Op Mode and Special Rumble rotate in.

Keep an eye on the game to see which modes are currently active, and don’t forget to check out our social media channels where we regularly post the current month’s mode schedule!
Each match (except for Quick Rumble) is made up of three rounds, and your goal is to be the last one standing by collecting rings, surviving obstacles, and outsmarting your rivals. You'll face different types of rounds, like races to the finish line, survival challenges, team battles, and all-out ring-collecting brawls in the final round.
Power-Ups spawn during matches and give you temporary boosts or abilities. Use them strategically to turn the tide, whether it’s dashing ahead, knocking out enemies, or defending yourself.
Ring Survival is the core mode of Sonic Rumble. It always follows the same structure:

• Round 1 – Run: Race to the goal and collect rings.
  
• Round 2 – Survival / Hunt / Team: Stay alive, score high, or work with your team to advance.
  
• Final Round – Ring Battle: Grab rings, steal them from opponents, and aim to finish on top!

In Co-Op Mode, you team up with other players to face off against powerful bosses. Work together to deal as much damage as possible and aim to take them down before time runs out!
Special Rumble features limited-time variations that change up the rules of the game. Enjoy modes like faster movement, lower gravity, or three rounds of pure survival action for a thrilling twist on your matches.
Form a squad of up to 4 players and take on other squads in team-based stages. It’s all about teamwork, strategy, and collecting as many rings as you can together!
Quick Rumble is the perfect pick if you’re looking for fast and easy fun. These matches are shorter, with 8 players and just one round. You get one Quick Rumble ticket per day, and can save up to 3.
Stage Challenges offer special one-off battles with unique rules. You unlock them by progressing through the Season Pass and collecting Bronze Medals. They only reward you once per clear, and don’t count toward standard progression like Amy’s Requests.
Yes! You can create Custom Matches and invite up to 31 other players. Select your favorite maps, set up 1 or 3 rounds, and even add bots if you like. Just remember: Custom Matches do not grant rewards or progression.

Rumble Rank is Sonic Rumble’s competitive weekly ranking system. Players are placed into leagues and can climb up by earning high scores during the week. The higher you place, the better your rewards at the end of the season!
Crews let you team up with up to 32 players to complete Crew Missions and compete in Crew Emblem Battles. Work together to earn Crew Scores, climb the Crew Rankings, and earn special rewards for your whole team!
Sonic Rumble uses several types of currencies to support your progress and customization:

• Rings: Primary currency, earned by playing matches, used to buy skins, buddies, and more.
  
• Red Star Rings: Premium currency, can be purchased or earned through events, passes, or leaderboards.
  
• Skin Shards & Omni Fragments: Used to unlock skins. Omni Fragments can replace missing Skin Shards but expire at the end of each season.
  
• Tune-Up Wrench: Used to upgrade your characters, skins, and cosmetics.
  
• Medals (Bronze, Silver, Gold): Used to unlock Stage Challenges.
