Overview
- SEGA revealed Crazy Taxi: World Tour at the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday with a 2027 release window for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC and said the game will include a World Tour campaign, Arcade Mode and online multiplayer.
- A mandatory disclosure on the game's Steam page noted that SEGA used generative AI support tools during development, prompting immediate attention from players and press.
- SEGA told Game Informer that the studio used generative AI specifically to support the development of background assets and that any generated material was subject to review by the development team.
- Series creator Kenji Kanno further clarified that the team used generative AI as a reference for idea generation and that artists drew and produced the final in‑game assets.
- Fan backlash over the disclosure has reduced some of the reveal’s momentum and leaves open questions about how much AI appears in the final build, release details and monetization, which SEGA has not yet specified.
