Sega has officially brought Pac-Man to their hit racing title, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, with the newly released “PAC-MAN Pack” DLC, now available on the Nintendo Switch.

This latest crossover brings together two of gaming’s most iconic franchises, expanding the content of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and offering longtime fans new ways to engage with both Sega and Bandai Namco’s celebrated characters.

The “PAC-MAN Pack” DLC introduces a vibrant Pac-Man themed course, five additional characters inspired by the Pac-Man universe, and a brand new in-game vehicle.

Players can look forward to racing through a classic-inspired track, complete with the recognizable pixel-art visuals, signature music, and the beloved sound effects from the original Pac-Man arcade games.

To capture the essence of both games, the new course is designed to let racers travel seamlessly between different stages, a signature feature for CrossWorlds that adds both variety and nostalgia for longtime players.

Launching alongside the DLC, Sega is hosting a Pac-Man Festival event in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, running for a limited time from January 8th, 2026 through January 11th, 2026.

During this event, all players—including those who have not purchased the PAC-MAN Pack—will have the opportunity to participate in special races and earn exclusive Pac-Man themed rewards.

This initiative allows the larger CrossWorlds community to enjoy Pac-Man content temporarily, without requiring an immediate DLC purchase.

A Sega representative noted that the decision to bring Pac-Man into CrossWorlds showcases their ongoing commitment to crossover collaborations, and aims to offer Nintendo Switch players a fresh experience through familiar and beloved gaming icons.

The inclusion of classic visuals and audio cues ensures long-time Pac-Man fans feel right at home, while the dynamic race-course design stays true to CrossWorld’s gameplay philosophy.

Since its debut, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has consistently introduced new characters and tracks, quickly becoming a standout racing title on the Nintendo Switch and the Sega eShop.

This latest DLC follows similar content updates that have seen fan-favorite characters and unique crossover events brought into the fold, further strengthening the game’s appeal and replay value.

The PAC-MAN Pack DLC is now available for download via the Nintendo eShop.

With its special launch event and fresh content, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds continues to set the pace for inventive cross-licensing partnerships and dynamic DLC updates, ensuring the racing action remains as compelling as ever for both Sega and Pac-Man fans alike.
