SEGA has confirmed that AiAi, the beloved character from the Super Monkey Ball franchise, is set to join the high-speed roster of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
This announcement comes with the reveal of a free update scheduled to go live on February 11.
All players on Nintendo Switch and the recently launched Nintendo Switch 2 will have access to AiAi once the update is made available via the Nintendo eShop. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, developed and published by SEGA, continues its tradition of expanding content through post-launch support.
Building on the game’s existing crossover appeal, the addition of AiAi further unites SEGA’s celebrated franchises.
The game has garnered attention for its robust multiplayer features and dynamic event updates, ensuring a fresh experience for its dedicated community. In conjunction with AiAi’s debut, SEGA is hosting the Super Monkey Ball Festival, a themed in-game event celebrating the character’s arrival.
The festival kicks off on February 12, beginning at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET, and is set to run through February 15, ending at 3:59 PM PT / 6:59 PM ET.
During this special event, competitive players should note that World Match mode will be temporarily disabled to accommodate the festival activities. SEGA reiterated that this content drop is a free update and not a paid DLC, ensuring universal access for all game owners.
Players are reminded to download the latest patch from the Nintendo eShop as soon as distribution begins to enjoy immediate access to AiAi during their next racing session. This update continues the post-launch roadmap for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, following previous free content additions such as the inclusion of NiGHTS, another classic SEGA character.
This ongoing support illustrates SEGA’s commitment to providing value for fans and expanding the game’s roster with iconic figures spanning its rich gaming history. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is currently available for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, with the free AiAi update available as of February 11.
