Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is gearing up for its highly anticipated launch on September 25, 2023. This new entry in the popular Sonic Racing franchise promises to deliver exhilarating races across diverse terrains, including land, sea, and air. With a host of customization options for karts and an array of beloved characters, including some surprising crossovers, fans are eager to hit the tracks.
One significant feature that sets Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds apart is its full cross-play capability. Players on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC will be able to compete in the same lobbies, ensuring that friends can race together regardless of their chosen platform. This inclusivity enhances the multiplayer experience, allowing up to four players to enjoy split-screen racing in various modes, such as Grand Prix, Race Park, and Time Attack.
Cross-Progression Status Still Unclear
As for cross-progression, information remains limited. Currently, SEGA has not confirmed whether players will be able to transfer their progress between platforms. This potential feature would allow gamers to maintain their achievements and unlocks, providing a seamless experience across devices. Updates regarding this functionality are expected closer to the launch date.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is set to be available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. A version for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is anticipated to follow in Holiday 2025, with options for both an upgrade path and standalone purchase.
As excitement builds for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, the game’s commitment to cross-play may redefine how players interact in the racing genre. Fans of the franchise can look forward to the thrill of racing alongside their friends, regardless of the platform they choose.
