Woot Is Practically Giving Away Sonic Games to New Customers Today
Woot, the Amazon-owned deals retailer, is offering steep discounts on two Sonic games exclusively for first-time customers. Using the promo code "HELLOTEN" at checkout, new users can get Sonic x Shadow Generations for just $1 on Nintendo Switch or Xbox, and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for $8 on Switch, both of which have received strong critical reviews. The offer highlights how retailers continue to use deep new-customer discounts to draw in shoppers, though it only applies to those who have never bought from Woot before.
The code applies an instant $10 discount, cutting Sonic x Shadow Generations from $49.99 to $0.99, a 98% saving, and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds from $59.99 to $7.99, an 87% saving. Buyers without Amazon Prime face a $5.99 shipping fee, and switching a Switch copy to Switch 2 costs an extra $10, which would offset the savings. Even without the promo code, the two titles are already discounted to $10.99 and $17.99 respectively, and both received 9/10 scores in IGN's reviews.
- Woot offers $1 Sonic x Shadow Generations for new customers via code HELLOTEN
- Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds drops to $8 on Switch with the same code
- Deal excludes existing Woot customers; Prime needed to avoid shipping fees

Woot is an online deals retailer owned by Amazon. Retailers sometimes offer unusually low prices to people making their first purchase, using discounts to attract new customers.
Sonic x Shadow Generations and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds are video games featuring characters from Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are available on Nintendo Switch and Xbox, platforms made by Nintendo and Microsoft.
The offer matters as an example of how a first-time buyer promotion can make a product much cheaper, while conditions such as delivery charges or choosing a different console version affect the final price.
