Races that switch worlds

Released on 25 September 2025 on PS5 and PS4 according to the French PlayStation Store and the same day on PC according to Steam, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds brings Sonic and friends together in kart races. Its twist: during a race, the leader opens a portal that sends everyone to a different environment for a lap. Vehicles also switch between land, water and air, and gadgets let players tune how they race.

What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (8/10) praises fun, chaotic kart racing, gadgets that add a strategic layer, plentiful customisation, varied courses and a vibrant presentation, but criticises an image that can be very blurry, silent guest characters and slow ticket earning. PlayStation Universe (9/10) highlights strong core gameplay, cool customisation and fantastic track design, and finds the game compelling.

Editions and prices

Checked on 12 November 2026: on the PlayStation Store the game (PS4 and PS5 versions included) costs €39.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition €59.99, with no sale. On Steam the game costs €39.99 with no sale. Packs and season passes (add-on content) are not counted here.

Who is it for?

Fans of accessible kart racers, solo or with friends, and Sonic fans. Players who want to unlock everything will have to accept fairly slow progression.
