In an interview, the current president of Sega, Shuji Utsumi, spoke about his intentions to launch a service similar to Netflix with his games. After seeing that other companies do something similar, the idea seemed interesting so they are evaluating its possibilities.
Services such as Nintendo Switch Online, PlayStation Plus and Ubisoft Plus were mentioned by the president of Sega as an inspiration. Although he said that they are evaluating how they could get theirs, he also shared that it is too early to give details of this possible service.
Currently the company has several of its games available on some of these services. In fact, at Nintendo, expansion pack subscribers can access several of the 90s classics such as Altered Beast, Gunstar Heroes and Sonic’s first adventures.

Opening your own service dedicated entirely to Sega and combining both old and more current classics would have potential. Although we would also find ourselves with a more saturated market that we do not know if players will adopt very well. Would you pay for a pure gaming service from this company?
What else did the president of Sega say about its future?
In the same interview, the president of Sega spoke about the future of his company and what it wants to achieve in the coming years. Here he said that he is interested in having more presence in the international market, since he believes that they have focused too much on capturing the Japanese public.
He also indicated that they do not plan to release more retro consoles in the future. He knows that they have history and treasures it, but he said that they are not a ‘retro company’ so they will concentrate on launching new products. Otherwise they will stay stuck in the past. Do you agree with his statements?
