Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Switch Release Date and Mega Man Season Pass Collaboration Revealed

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is poised to make a major impact on the Nintendo Switch later this year, uniting fan-favorite franchises in a dynamic kart racing experience.

Developed by SEGA, this highly anticipated title is set to launch on September 25, 2025, for the Nintendo Switch, with a confirmed Switch 2 version planned for release at a later date.

Fans will also have the option to upgrade to the next-generation version via a paid upgrade program for current Switch users. In the lead-up to its release, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has generated considerable buzz as early physical copies have surfaced ahead of the official street date.

According to verified images from these leaks, the game’s physical box art not only highlights mainstay SEGA characters but also reveals the scope of its post-launch content.

The back of the packaging features NiGHTS, a beloved SEGA mascot, as well as prominent guest appearances from the Persona franchise and Yakuza: Like A Dragon. The most notable Season Pass revelation is the inclusion of Capcom’s Mega Man series as the headline collaboration for the final content wave.

This marks a significant crossover moment, expanding on SEGA’s history of inviting iconic characters from other studios into their games.

A statement from SEGA, paraphrased for clarity, notes that the company is committed to delivering fresh and exciting content to players long after launch, citing the Mega Man integration as a highlight of the upcoming Season Pass. Players can expect the first wave of downloadable content (DLC) to coincide closely with the game’s launch, with details on future collaborations and characters to be released through official Nintendo Direct showcases and updates on the Nintendo eShop.

The inclusion of multiple industry-defining franchises in both the base game and as DLC underscores SEGA’s commitment to celebrating gaming heritage, providing Switch players with a robust and ever-expanding racing roster. With its array of crossover characters, season pass content, and support for both current and next-generation Nintendo hardware, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is positioned as a flagship racing title for Switch in 2025.
