Sega has announced that Free Update #3 for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds – Ichiban Kasuga Festival will be arriving on November 6. This follows the successful Phantom Thief festival in October that starred Joker from Persona 5.

In our review for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, we scored the game a 9/10. It’s easily one of the best arcade racing experiences released in 2025. It respects the series’ history while pushing the genre forward through innovative mechanics and thoughtful design.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is available to play on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam. It will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2026.
