Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds lands September with crossplay, Switch 2 and Minecraft

In a highly anticipated announcement, Sega has confirmed that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will officially launch on September 25, 2025. This vibrant addition to the racing genre was first teased during last year’s The Game Awards and has since garnered attention at Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest.

This kart racer, which is poised to compete with the likes of Mario Kart Worlds, introduces an innovative feature known as ‘warping.’ Players will be able to switch between different environments mid-race using ‘travel rings,’ reminiscent of the mechanics seen in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The game promises to immerse players in a kaleidoscope of colorful settings, featuring beloved characters from Sega’s extensive catalog.

Among the exciting roster of playable characters are Hatsune Miku, Ichiban Kasuga from Yakuza, and Joker from Persona. Additionally, a Minecraft-themed level, kart, and character will be included as part of a downloadable content (DLC) Season Pass. Fans of the Sonic franchise will also appreciate the inclusion of characters from the Sonic Prime Netflix series, available exclusively in the Digital Deluxe Edition, which offers early access starting September 22.

“Unlike another kart racing game, this game will have online cross-platform matchmaking,” stated Takashi Iizuka from Sega, highlighting the collaborative effort between the Sonic Team and Sega Arcade Team. This ambitious project will be available across multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, with the addition of a Nintendo Switch 2 version now confirmed.
