Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Earns Strong Early Reviews as Insert Leak Signals Mega Man Crossover

Launch is set for September 25 with crossplay confirmed.

Overview

  • Critics report a broadly positive reception, with the PS5 version sitting around 82 on Metacritic and praise focused on speedy handling, inventive tracks and deep customization.
  • Flyers found in early physical copies appear to reveal the remaining Season Pass packs, listing Capcom’s Mega Man alongside Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Avatar Legends, with media posts supporting the flyer’s authenticity and official confirmation still pending.
  • The signature Travel Rings system lets the race leader choose a mid‑event warp to a different CrossWorld for lap two before returning to a modified version of the original course for lap three.
  • Pre‑race buildcrafting features more than 70 Gadgets and mix‑and‑match vehicle parts, with roughly 24 main tracks, 15 CrossWorlds and a base roster of Sonic characters at launch plus cross‑platform play.
  • Reviewers note drawbacks that include limited single‑player depth, slow in‑game currency progression that can feel grindy and heavy motion blur, with post‑launch additions tied to a paid Season Pass reported at $20.
