For Sonic enthusiasts, one of the franchise's more overlooked mobile releases is the Apple Arcade-exclusive Dream Team. As expected from Apple, they secured this excellent mobile spin-off. Now, a significant new update brings exciting additions, including a brand-new level for Shadow the Hedgehog!

First, for the completionists, the introduction of new outfits is sure to delight. As you'd expect, these allow you to dress Sonic and his friends in a variety of fresh styles, all unlockable via Challenge XP on a new reward track.

Meanwhile, the spreading Nightmares have now reached Ego City, and it's up to Shadow to confront them in his dedicated new stage. This level also comes with a selection of additional music tracks, featuring tunes from Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Frontiers, and Sonic x Shadow Generations. Long-time fans are sure to appreciate the nostalgic touch.

You can also collect new statues showcasing the additional outfits from this update. For those who appreciate polish, the update includes various cleanups and bug fixes, as well as a resolution for an issue preventing save files from syncing to iCloud.

While Rovio's slew of new Sonic-themed releases has made headlines, it's worth remembering Sonic already has a foothold on mobile. Hopefully, one day, fans without iOS devices or an Apple Arcade subscription will also get the chance to experience Dream Team.
