A great compilation of remasters of the classic 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog games just got its Plus edition in June 2023. Similar to Sonic Mania, the extended Plus version for Sonic Origins has also arrived as a physical edition, which is great for collectors. However, if you already own the original Sonic Origins as the digital edition and just want all the new games and content from the Plus edition, you don’t have to buy it again, you can upgrade it. Check the guide below to find out how to get Sonic Origins Plus if you already have Sonic Origins.
How to Get Sonic Origins Plus Upgrade
To upgrade Sonic Origins to Sonic Origins Plus, first, be sure to update your game to the 2.00 version. On most platforms, this process should be automatic, but you can check your game version or start the update manually if needed by going to “check for updates” on the game card.

Next, look up Sonic Origins in PlayStation Store, Microsoft Xbox Store, Nintendo Store, or Steam, and find the separate Sonic Origins Plus Expansion Pack – it is sold separately for $10.
By downloading this Expansion Pack your digital version of Sonic Origins will be upgraded to Sonic Origins Plus, including the new game icon, title screen, and all of the content that comes with the Plus version.
The only downside of upgrading the digital version is that you will miss out on the great reversible cover in the physical edition as well as the brand new 20-page art book that comes with it, but as for the game content, it will be the same – all-new playable characters and 12 Game Gear classic 8-bit Sonic games included.
Sonic Origins Plus is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, and PC since June 23.
