Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Draws Strong Early Reviews as Season Pass Leak Points to Mega Man

Cross-platform multiplayer with a free demo signals Sega's push for a unified launch across consoles.

Overview

  • The kart racer launches September 25 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch and PC, with a dedicated Switch 2 version planned later as a paid upgrade for Switch owners.
  • The PS5 edition holds an 82 on Metacritic, with critics praising fast, fun racing and deep customization while noting limited launch modes, grindy unlocks and some visual blur.
  • A leaked flyer from early physical copies appears to reveal Season Pass packs featuring Minecraft, SpongeBob, Pac‑Man, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, Avatar Legends and Capcom’s Mega Man, though Sega has not formally announced the final lineup.
  • Reviewers highlight the CrossWorlds twist that lets the race leader choose a portal on lap two to warp everyone to an alternate course before returning for lap three, across 24 main tracks and 15 CrossWorlds segments.
  • Customization is a major focus with more than 70 Gadgets and flexible vehicle parts, and the game supports both local play and online cross‑play to widen matchmaking at launch.
