Sega is a little slow to hop on this train, and there are some industry standard features in that are still in development for Sega Accounts, such as a page for records related to games played. There's no language on the website now about if or when an account might be required.</p> <p>In announcing this platform, Sega said there will be "various new services and features coming soon."
