One of 2025’s best racing games, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds released on the promise of many crossovers with other IP including Minecraft, SpongeBob SquarePants and a wealth of SEGA’s own characters including Like a Dragon’s Ichiban and Persona’s Joker.
With Avatar, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more still to come from the Season Pass, the games Director, Masaura Kohayakawa has confirmed in an interview with Famitsu that further unannounced content is to come. In a translated quote, Kohayakawa stated “We plan to continue providing service throughout the season in 2026, but we’ve also prepared many more amazing surprises than at launch.”. Based on existing crossovers, the possibilities of who these new racers might be are anyone’s guess. SEGA is clearly having a lot of fun working to bring non-Sonic IP to the game and it’s seemingly more the merrier.
In a year that saw the release of Mario Kart World, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was 2025’s best racing game in our Game of the Year awards. In our review we said, “the gameplay is just so fun and there’s so much content in the game” with our reviewer saying “In my personal opinion, Sonic for now is the king of the kart racers”.
With plenty of new content to come, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds looks like it will have some long legs. Mario Kart World has yet to announce any postgame content, or quality of life improvements to its poorly received open world, so if you’re looking for a kart racing game to last you a long time then Sonic is definitely worth checking out.
