About
Race across land, sea, air, and space in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds! Warp through Travel Rings into new dimensions where something new awaits around every twist and turn. Speed to victory solo or as a team in a variety of offline and online modes and compete against players from around the world. Build the ultimate vehicle to match your racing style, unlock gadgets to gain the upper hand, and unleash power-up items!
Race across 24* courses and warp to one of 15 CrossWorld courses with Travel Rings, which transport you to a new course with special rules and challenges on the 2nd lap. Return to the first course for the final lap, where aspects of the track have changed. There’s always a surprise on the other side of the Travel Rings, and no two races are the same!
Pick from over 45 unique original vehicles and over 70** gadgets that let you shape how you race and define your playstyle. Gadgets let you customize all parts of your race, including movement boost efficiency, item chance, recovery time, and more. Build the loadout that defines you.
There are 5 character/vehicle classes to choose from: Speed, Acceleration, Handling, Power, and Boost. Within each class, you can further tune performance by combining front, rear, and tire parts, adjusting each stat to match your racing style. Top it all off with custom paint jobs, decals, and more to create your ultimate racing machine.
Choose from 23 iconic Sonic characters! From members of Team Sonic to the Babylon Rogues, Team Chaotix, and even the Deadly Six, it’s the largest roster in a Sonic racing game to date.
Characters have unique interactions with each other through the new Rival system, which randomly picks a character each race to be your Rival who will be faster, smarter, and more challenging. Defeat them for bonus rewards and even more special dialogue.

One of the best karting games out there, there is some bad flaws like the ticket system (best way to grind those is during the festival) and the no voice acting for DLC characters but other than that its a really fun and addicting game. the online races and ranking system is pretty good honestly the best way to try out the new DLC map since they are free when doing online matches. 9/10
really wanted to like the game but since release the game online is unplayable for me.
Buy this and play it with me.
mejor que mario kart
peak game

Its fun, the multiplayer is so chaotic and the single player is the perfect mix! 10/10 game
Game is pretty fun and racing is goated
Me encanta el juego, es muy desafiante y divertido. Aunque estoy decepcionado de los DLC's la verdad son muuuuy malos! Ninguno tiene voz y no destacan en nada. Esos detalles son en los que Nintendo no falla Pero Sega sí!
Up there with Sonic Riders (fight me) with the best (official) Sonic racing games, in my opinion. I bought the game pretty recently on the summer sale after I committed to buying it, and since then, I've rarely put it down since. The roster is pretty extensive (not as extensive as a certain fangame, but extensive nonetheless), the amount of fan service in the game makes me squee, because I've been a Sonic nerd since I was a kid. Extreme Gear from Riders? Tangle and Whisper from the comic books? The Babylon Rogues, also from Riders? Apotos from Unleashed? All in an official game? Hook that directly into my veins, please. ...Not only that, but the picks for just straight-up SEGA buffs (me included) like NiGHTS, Arle and Majima. There are also the DLC racers, which range from really cool to hilarious, and although there are some serious flaws to them (come on, you're gonna make SpongeBob a mute?), the modding scene is extensive and encouraged by SEGA (as long as it's cosmetic, you're good). Its main competitor in the space is Mario Kart World, and I haven't played that considering it requires me to fork over 500 dollars for a Switch 2, and potentially 80 dollars for the game. Not a typo. Yikes. 70 dollars is super steep, but it's on PC. I've already got one of those (and if you're here, you probably do too). Wait for it to go on-sale if you're patient enough. Prices aside, I've heard many people who have played both ultimately prefer CrossWorlds to its Nintendo counterpart, which is an amazing thing to hear if you experienced the franchise's "dark ages" like I have. Anyways, totally recommend it. I just really wish they'd remove Denuvo. C'mon, SEGA, we both know it's an ineffective measure that's always defeated within a month, and all it really does is kill performance.
