SEGA is giving players a chance to snag a piece of gaming history in Sonic Rumble. By linking your SEGA Account to the game, you can claim the "Game Gear" as an Epic Rarity Buddy for your character, a cool cosmetic that pays tribute to the classic handheld console.
This promotion is a great way for players to get a high-value cosmetic for free right from the get-go. Buddies are cosmetic companions that follow your character, and having an Epic one this easily is a solid bonus. The Game Gear is not just a cosmetic; it's a statement piece for long-time SEGA fans jumping into this new 32-player battle royale.
How to Claim Your Game Gear
The process involves a few steps outside of the game itself, but it's straightforward. Here’s what you need to do:
- First, you'll need a SEGA Account. If you don't have one, you can create one for free.
- Connect your SEGA Account within the Sonic Rumble game.
- Visit the official SEGA Account Gift Code Promotions page to receive your unique code.
- Finally, head over to the Sonic Rumble Gift Code redemption site and enter the code to unlock your reward.
How long is this promotion available?
You have plenty of time to claim this reward, but don't forget about it. The promotion officially expires on September 1, 2026, at 3:00 PM UTC. While that's a long way off, it’s always better to grab free loot sooner rather than later. Linking your account early ensures you won't miss out on this classic tribute cosmetic.
