Nintendo Switch 2 missed out on the recent launch of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, but Sonic series producer Takashi Iizuka says that the game will use the “full capability” of the system.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month 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.
