Guysโฆ are you ready for the hype? ๐๐ฅ Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds isnโt just another entry in the series, itโs a real revolution in kart racing. It combines everything we loved before with crazy new ideas that will make every race full of surprises.

โ Confirmed Features
The game will launch on September 25, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games. Physical versions will be available on most platforms, but the Switch 2 physical edition will be delayed until early 2026. ๐๏ธ๐ฟ
Thereโs also support for progression transfer between Switch 1 and Switch 2, so your progress and content will carry over. ๐
For online play, the game supports up to 12 players in one race, plus local multiplayer with up to 4 players on the same device. On Switch, thereโs an extended local option allowing up to 8 players to connect in the same place or via local network. ๐ฎ๐ฏ
Customization is on another level: more than 40 vehicles, with 70 gadgets for boosts and special abilities, plus over 100 parts and decorations for cars so you can build your ride your way. ๐โจ
Tracks? There are 24 main circuits + the Travel Rings feature that suddenly transports you into new worlds mid-race. Add to that 15 CrossWorlds stages that boost excitement and make every run unique. ๐๐ข
Characters? The game launches with 23 core characters from the Sonic universe like Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow and more. But the big surprise is guest characters from other franchises such as Hatsune Miku, Ichiban from Yakuza, Joker from Persona 5, and even Steve and Alex from Minecraft! ๐คฏ๐ค๐น๏ธ
On top of that, there will be free updates + a Season Pass adding more characters and tracks after launch. ๐
And the best part? The game supports Cross-play, so you can race with your friends even if theyโre on different platforms. ๐ค
โก Similarities and Differences with Previous Titles
If youโve played Team Sonic Racing or Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, youโll notice familiar elements: speed, drifting, boosting, and power-ups that give you an edge in the race. ๐
But the new twist in CrossWorlds is the tracks themselves changing mid-race through Travel Rings. Itโs somewhat like Transformed, but here itโs broader and more dynamic. ๐๐
Customization is deeper than ever: the amount of gadgets, decals, and options lets you build your own style both in performance and looks. ๐จ๐
The idea of bringing in characters from other universes is brand-new for Sonic Racing, opening the door for fans of different games and cultures to join in. ๐
๐ฎ Player Expectations
– Balanced races where skill matters more than luck, and no single item flips the race upside down. ๐
– Rich post-launch content: more tracks, new characters, maybe even anime or classic game icons. ๐ฆ
– Stunning graphics, especially on next-gen and PC, while keeping the Switch version smooth and fun. ๐จ
– Many are hoping for online tournaments or eSports if the game becomes a big community hit. ๐๐
– Balance between vehicles and gadgets is crucial to give the game strategic depth. โ๏ธ
โ Open Questions
– Could Travel Rings feel unfair to some players who get teleported suddenly? ๐ค
– How will the gadget system work? Will there be strong defensive items to balance offensive ones? ๐ก๏ธ
– Will there be a real Story Mode, or just free races and online competitions? ๐
– How will handheld versions like Switch perform compared to major platforms? ๐ฎ
๐ Why This Game is So Exciting
Because it blends the best elements of the series: speed, hype, iconic characters, customization, and variety. Plus, it adds a crazy twist with the CrossWorlds feature that changes tracks and makes every race a fresh experience. ๐๐ฅ
Having guest characters from worlds like Minecraft and Persona makes it appealing not only to Sonic fans but also to fans of anime, gaming, and pop culture. ๐พ๐ญ
And if the game manages to deliver smooth and stable performance on all platforms with ongoing post-launch content, then weโre looking at a true Mario Kart competitor and the best Sonic racing game in years. ๐ฅ๐ฎ
