Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds sales

SEGA has announced a sales milestone for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, with the game surpassing one million copies sold. That goes for all platforms combined worldwide.

A few other player stats were also shared about the game today. These are as follows:

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Joker release date

SEGA has revealed the release date for Joker in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. The character, who originates from Persona 5, is due out on October 22, 2023.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is celebrating the arrival with the Joker Festival. This will be held between October 23 at 8 PM ET and October 26 at 7:59 PM ET. World Match will not be available during the Festival.

One of the highlights for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is its various collaborations, and one of these is for Yakuza’s Ichiban Kasuga. Creative director Masaru Kobayakawa recently shared a bit of backstory about the character’s inclusion in a recent interview with Famitsu.

Kobayakawa told the Japanese magazine that there was some initial hesitation from the Yakuza team about the collaboration. He said:

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.

Technically, you can play the title on Nintendo’s latest console through backwards compatibility with the Switch 1 release. However, there should be benefits with the proper Nintendo Switch 2 version.

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Minecraft DLC release date

October 6: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds hasn’t been out for very long, but a new collaboration DLC is coming very soon as we now have the release date for the Minecraft Pack DLC. Players can access it starting on October 8, 2025. The Minecraft Festival will be held until October 11.

Several more collaboration packs are in the works. SpongeBob SquarePants, Pac-Man, Mega Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and Avatar Legends were previously announced.

Below is a trailer for the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds x Minecraft Pack DLC:

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds review

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.

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Mega Man

Just before the launch of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Mega Man DLC has now been officially revealed. This will be released in the future – there’s no word on when exactly at the moment.

Mega Man himself will be included, but he won’t be alone. Proto Man is also included in the DLC. On top of that, SEGA is including the new Wily Castle course, the Rush Roadstar vehicle, and that legendary theme song.

SEGA is celebrating the launch of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds with a new trailer. Later this week, the racer will arrive on Nintendo Switch.

Everything you need to know can be found in the following overview:

We’ll have to wait for an official announcement, but it looks like the final crossover DLC for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has been revealed.

We actually have a pretty good idea about most of the DLC lineup. Minecraft, SpongeBob SquarePants, Pac-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and Avatar Legends have all been announced at this point. Everything was confirmed throughout the summer. That brings us to today’s potential leak – which we’ll be covering below, so keep that in mind before proceeding.

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds demo

SEGA is giving Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds fans another chance to try out the game with a newly-announced demo. Nintendo Switch players can download the trial on September 17, 2025.

Note that this is different from the online open beta that was recently held. According to SEGA, the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds demo is single-player only. We’re currently waiting to hear about what specific content will be included.
