Sonic Origins on Switch has been updated to version 1.4.0

Sound origins may have been released less than 2 months ago, but to say the state of the game has been an issue is an understatement. Unfortunately, there have been a bunch of bugs in the game. A patch for the game was confirmed in the works last month, so it wouldn’t be long before the bugs were fixed.

Good, SEGA has spent the past few days gradually rolling out the update. It was released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 the other day, followed by the PC version that evening. It was only a matter of time, but SEGA released an update for the Nintendo Switch version of Sonic Origins, bringing the compilation to version 1.4.0. It’s not surprising, but the only purpose of the update is to fix bugs. You can see the patch notes below.
