Games and content

The original collection includes four games from the Dreamcast: three which were also part of the Sega All Stars budget range, plus Space Channel 5: Part 2, released simultaneously for the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 in Japan, then later released exclusively for the PlayStation 2 outside of Japan. All games released in the bundle are available for purchase separately on the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and Steam.^[1] A retail release for PlayStation 3 was seemingly planned but never released.^[2]

Dreamcast Collection was later reissued on July 22, 2016 for Steam, adding two games (NiGHTS into Dreams and Jet Set Radio, despite the former being originally a Sega Saturn game), which are a part of the Sega Heritage Collection.^[3] It was updated once again on April 7, 2020 to include Sonic Adventure 2, which completes the collection.^[4] The games could be purchased either collectively or individually on Steam until their removal on December 6, 2024.^[5] The extended cuts of Sonic Adventure and its sequel (released as Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, respectively) are included as DLC content for Microsoft Windows. DX is also available for the Xbox 360, and replaces the original game upon download.
