Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (PlayStation 5) is a fast-paced arcade racing game developed by Sonic Team and published by SEGA, featuring high-speed kart-style racing across shifting dimensions inspired by the Sonic universe and SEGA crossover worlds.
Players race across land, sea, air, and space while using Travel Rings that instantly transport them into different “CrossWorlds” during races, changing track layouts and conditions in real time. This mechanic adds unpredictability and strategy to every competition.
The game features a large roster of Sonic characters, including fan favorites like Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow, alongside additional content from SEGA franchises through updates and DLC.
Players can customize their racing experience with a deep system of vehicles and gadgets, allowing different builds focused on speed, handling, or power. This supports a wide variety of playstyles and strategies.
Multiple game modes are included such as offline Grand Prix, Time Trials, and online multiplayer races. The PS5 version supports up to 12 online players and includes DualSense vibration features for added immersion.
