When Sega's new open-zone game Sonic Frontiers made its debut on the Nintendo Switch and multiple other platforms last November, players were able to pick up an iconic pair of Sonic Adventure 2 shoes by signing up to the company's newsletter.
We're now at the tail end of January 2023, and that means this limited-time offer is actually coming to a close. If you still want these shoes but haven't got around to signing up - you better hurry up. Sega has issued a reminder that there's only "one week" left to get the Sonic Adventure 2 shoes, so make sure you sign up by 31st January 2023.
Sonic and Sega social media manager Katie Chrzanowski has also mentioned how there are "no plans" to offer these shoes after this period, so be sure to grab them just in case.
To sign up for this newsletter, visit the link (above or below). From there, scroll to the bottom of the page, enter your details (including the platform you would like to receive the code on) and Sega will email you a code and more details about how to redeem the code and download this in-game content.
Have you redeemed this limited-time offer yet? Are you still playing Sonic Frontiers? Comment below.

A mediocre game calling back to an equally mediocre game. Sounds about Sonic.
My SOAP shoes! NOOOOOOO.
It would be nice if they just had them stay forever, I know signing up is easy enough so anyone who wanted them got em…..I hope.
If anything, Sega absolutely SHOULD keep on letting people have access to DLC like that. The whole preorder/newsletter thing just drives people banana nut bread. Especially if it's limited time. (I hate limited time events and specials, I keep on missing the cool stuff.)
Feels a bit like blackmailing considering the Japanese eShop offers the shoes as normal DLC, and as far as I know, it won't be removed after the deadline. But like I said before, it seems the Japanese DLC for Sonic Frontiers doesn't work with western copies/downloads, so that's not an option for those who missed the deadline.
As a matter of fact, the Japanese eShop also offers the SEGA costumes for Sonic Forces as normal DLC as well when in the west they were offered only in pre-order/first-run copies.
But then I'd have to boot up Frontiers.
@LoyalWolf I feel you, it sucks. Also, what’s this about banana nut bread!
@Snatcher Got my code before I even had the game and redeemed it. I pretty much have the Sonic Adventure 2 Soap shoes on Sonic since getting the game.
Hoping those who have a code redeems theirs soon.
You can get the code for free and buy the game later, so it's not terrible
I got this game on my Series X, but I thought this DLC was sorta essential considering how often you're grinding/soaping around.
@Sunsy Yeah I hope so too, it would suck if someone missed it if they really wanted. At least there might be other crossover skins.
I really enjoyed this game. Nothing groundbreaking but fun controls and incentives. SOAP Shoes is not part of any of that. The game is good.
@LoyalWolf
Par for the course. They cut off access to the NiGHTs level in Lost World Wii U pretty early.
@JayJ I thought they were just cosmetic... Is grinding different in these shoes?
@Clyde_Radcliffe I’m wondering that too. Seemed like just a skin rather than functional.
Ahh the lovely FOMO trend.
@Sunsy and @Aurumonado already kind of mentioned it, but you don't need to open the game or even have it to redeem the code, just get one by signing up to the newsletter and when you receive it enter it in the eShop and you're good, that's how I did it myself!
@Clyde_Radcliffe @AG_Awesome That was probably just a jab at the game, as far as I know these shoes are just cosmetic.
People who are fully aware about this offer are fully able to sign up to the newsletter and get the code early before buying the game, and they can also redeem it before getting the game in case there is an expiration period on it. So basically if they still miss out in this, it is completely fully on them. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize they don't need to own the game first to get the shoes.
Signed up w/ my junk email, they didn’t require a password so that’s nice.
Weird you have to pick between PS4 and PS5 or X1 and X Series considering they’re basically the same consoles but maybe it doesn’t matter and they just want to know? 🤷🏻♂️
I selected PS5 though I purchased the PS4 version, so we’ll see if it works after I get around to installing it.
It is a cool playthrough actually. Sure, could be significantly better on the Switch, but I still think it's good.
Amazon sent me an EU version, so even though I got the code for the shoes, the code was US so it won't let me redeem it 😭
I thought I was getting the Switch Version and then I bought an Xbox and the game on that, contacted Sega about it, and they never responded
@dcon11 iirc there was an option to change platform. If no longer possible, I guess you could sign up again on an alt or burner email.
@JohnnyMind Pretty much. I got my copy for Christmas, but opened it early just to install the updates (servers get a lot of traffic Christmas day), and installed the updates and redeemed the DLC code. Started playing it on Christmas day.
Is this game good? I heard it is a really bad open world game from everyone.
@Selim Pretty standard mediocre Sonic fare. Not terrible, so his fanboys are hailing it like it's GOTY material, which it's not.
@Selim I'm really enjoying it. No, it's not the greatest thing ever, but I like wandering around the large levels (it isn't quite a true open world), searching for collectables, seeing where all the rails go, etc. And the alter like things that send you into short levels that look like past games is kind of a cool way to mix things up, but since they are distinctly outside of the open world, it doesn't become a jumbled mess of a game like Forces. I noticed the comments here tend to be negative, but watch some videos with gameplay on YouTube. It seems to have gotten a mostly positive reception, so just watch someone play it and see if it appeals to you.
@TheFox Thank you for your information. Yess, maybe I will love it. Yess, with gameplay from YouTube I will understand it.
@GoshJosh Did you actually play it?
@Snatcher That's what I say when something drives me crazy.
