Sonic Pico Park Launches on Steam November 12

Sega’s Sonic Pico Park is set to release on PC via Steam on November 12, 2026. This title merges the cooperative puzzle-platforming of Pico Park with elements from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. The game features fifteen worlds, each containing four levels that blend mechanics from both series. Players can choose from a roster including Sonic, Shadow, Blaze, Knuckles, Espio, Silver, Charmy, Cream, and Tails. Characters like Charmy, Cream, and Tails possess flight abilities, while Knuckles can glide and push blocks. All characters share the same jump height regardless of special moves.

The core experience focuses on cooperative play for up to eight participants, though it remains functional with just two players. Each level requires all active players to touch a Goal Plate to clear the stage. Gameplay incorporates classic Sonic elements such as spin-dashes, rings for damage absorption, springs, loops, and Item Box Monitors. A competitive Battle mode exists alongside the primary cooperative structure. The design allows for character swapping via doors when specific mechanics are needed, ensuring progress without returning to the selection screen.
