Sonic Lost World is a third-person platform game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega.
After its exclusive Wii U debut in October 2013, a PC port of the game developed by Sega Europe was released via Steam on November 2, 2015.[2]
The PC version of Sonic Lost World lacks multiple features of the original Wii U version, including multiplayer, RC vehicles, the Circus mini-game, and the Yoshi's Island Zone and The Legend of Zelda Zone DLC levels. Additionally, gamma correction is missing and depth-of-field ordering is broken, lowering the graphical fidelity of levels. Community mods are available to restore most of the features.
