Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is out now across multiple platforms, with ongoing free character additions and planned collaboration content spanning Year One and Year Two.
Sega has been steadily expanding Sonic Racing CrossWorlds since its launch, treating the game as a long-term platform for crossovers rather than a one-off title. The game is already available on multiple platforms, and within weeks of release Sega announced a slate of free Sega characters and external IP collaborations during two June livestream events.
At Summer Games Fest in early June, Sega revealed that Year One of the game would bring in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Avatar: The Last Airbender as guest properties, while Year Two would add Godzilla and Evangelion. Later in June, during a Sonic's Birthday livestream, the company launched Classic Sonic as an immediately available free character and scheduled two more Sega characters: Axel from Crazy Taxi in August and Amigo from Samba de Amigo in September.
The announcements frame the racing game as a continually updated crossover hub that draws from both Sega's own catalog and major pop-culture franchises. No release windows for the external collaborations have been specified beyond the Year One and Year Two labels, and no further platform details have been added beyond the initial launch.
