Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 25, 2025
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: SEGA
By complete coincidence, 2025 is the year of racing games – we’ve got Mario Kart World, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, and Kirby Air Riders yet to come. This means that in terms of online discourse, you’ll almost always see at least two of these games compared to each other. In the past, Sonic has starred in several high-quality racing games – Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was fairly popular back in its day, and some would even say it rivaled your typical Mario Kart title. Continuing that trend, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds absolutely stands its ground in the kart racer scene – but as you might expect, there are some compromises on the Nintendo Switch version.

If you own Little Nightmares on Nintendo Switch, you won’t be able to upgrade to the new Enhanced Edition on Switch 2 – so you have to buy the game again. Bandai Namco has now commented on the decision.
In an FAQ, the company said that “technical constraints” prevented the upgrade. This goes against what’s happening on other platforms. For example, those who own the original 2017 version on PS4 will be able to upgrade to the PS5 Enhanced Edition for free.
