Get ready to hit the track this holiday season, as Sega officially announces the launch of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for the Nintendo Switch 2. The game arrives on December 4, 2025, with a price tag of $69.99. A physical edition, complete on the cartridge, is scheduled for an early 2026 release.
Players who already own the original Switch version can upgrade for just $10. For a limited time, until December 10, that upgrade cost drops by half to only $5. Additionally, anyone purchasing the Switch 2 edition before December 17 will receive the Werehog Pack DLC at no extra charge.
Since its debut on the original Switch in September, Sonic Racing CrossWorld has surpassed one million copies sold. The game continues to expand its lineup with regular guest character additions, including the recent arrival of Ichiban Kasuga from the Like A Dragon series.
Early impressions of the Switch 1 version praised its karting mechanics and racing dynamics, though performance on the older hardware drew some criticism. The new Switch 2 iteration is expected to resolve these technical shortcomings, delivering a smoother and more visually impressive experience.
With its growing roster and refined gameplay, Sonic Racing CrossWorld is positioning itself as a serious contender in the kart racing genre. The blue blur’s latest outing promises high-speed excitement just in time for the festive period.
