Sega launches its new account system, offering the latest Sega and Atlus news and exclusive in-game benefits. Discover how to snag free DLC for Like a Dragon: Pirate of the Caribbean!
Sega Launches Sega Account: Your One-Stop Shop for Sega/Atlus
Sega joins the account system trend with its new service, the aptly named Sega Account. As stated on their website, it’s designed to "maximize SEGA's online services and offers a ton of benefits."
Sega Account users get the latest news on Sega/Atlus games, upcoming events, and promotions. Account holders also receive exclusive bonuses and can link gaming accounts across platforms for easy management. Future updates will even include game history tracking.
To celebrate the launch, players creating a Sega Account and linking a compatible Like a Dragon: Pirate of the Caribbean platform account (Steam, PlayStation Network, or Xbox) before March 7th receive a code for the free Kazuma Kiryu Special Outfit DLC. This outfit dresses protagonist Goro Majima in Kiryu's iconic suit. Unique codes will be distributed to eligible players starting February 17th, redeemable in-game after its February 28th launch.
Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis (NGS) players also benefit. Linking their Sega Accounts to NGS unlocks 300 Star Gems, 100x C/Endymio, 500x Card Scratch Tickets, 3 Beauty Salon Passes, 3 Color Change Passes, and a charming lobby action featuring your character proudly displaying the Sega logo.
A Potential Connection to the Upcoming "Super Game"?
Many believe this launch is linked to Sega's ambitious "Super Game" project, announced in a 2022 report. Sega CEO Haruki Satomi stated, "One strategy for generating such hit titles is the creation of a 'Super Game' - a large-scale global title. We're currently developing such a game, targeting release by the fiscal year ending March 2026."
While details remain scarce two years later, Sega and its subsidiaries are actively developing numerous titles, from classics like Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, and Golden Axe, to new projects such as the intriguing Yakuza-like Project Century. The Sega Account platform may signal a new era for Sega, but the full impact of these plans remains to be seen.
