During last night’s State of Play showcase, we got our first look at Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, the latest entry in the Sonic Racing franchise. CrossWorlds introduces a multiverse element to the races with players jumping between dimensions in a dynamic racing environment.
The game also has local and online multiplayer support with up to 12 players in online modes. Though, does Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds have crossplay support? Here is everything you need to know.
Does Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Have Crossplay?
Yes, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will have crossplay support at launch, as confirmed by SEGA on thegame’s official website.
Here is the relevant excerpt:
This is great news because Sonic Team Racing did not have crossplay support, which meant that players were restricted to the player base of their platform. This led to the multiplayer aspect dying after a few months of release.
Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Confirmed Multiplayer Modes
SEGA has confirmed that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will feature three main modes: Grand Prix, Race Park, and Time Attack, with support for 1-4 players in local multiplayer and up to 12 players online.
Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Confirmed Racers
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will launch with 23 racers at launch and plenty more to join the roster as part of post-release updates. The following racers have been confirmed so far:
There are 14 more racers to be revealed, and we expect plenty from other SEGA franchises as well. Give us Kiryu, please SEGA!
Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Closed Network Test
SEGA has not revealed the release date yet, but we’re hopeful for a 2025 release. Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is coming to PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, PS4 and the PS5.
It’s great to see that SEGA is committed to crossplay from launch so players can compete with their friends regardless of their platform. This should increase the longevity of the title substantially compared to past releases.
