SEGA has confirmed a closed network test for Crazy Taxi World Tour, the latest entry in the long-running arcade-style franchise.
Crazy Taxi began as an arcade title in 1999 and arrived on the Sega Dreamcast in 2000; since then the series has appeared on platforms including PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
The new World Tour entry promises the franchise’s trademark high-speed, pick-up-and-deliver gameplay and comedic tone.
In its announcement, SEGA made clear which platforms will not be included in the upcoming test.
Rewriting the publisher’s statement in journalistic terms: SEGA said the closed network test will not support the Nintendo Switch 2, though players on other supported formats are invited to register for the test.
SEGA also released a new trailer accompanying the announcement to showcase World Tour’s environments, characters, and core driving mechanics.
The closed network test is a common step for multiplayer and online-enabled releases; it allows developers to validate servers, matchmaking, and online features ahead of a wider beta or full launch.
SEGA’s notice focused on test registration for eligible formats and did not list the Nintendo Switch 2 among the supported devices for this phase.
For fans watching Nintendo channels, there was no specific mention in the release of a Nintendo Direct or eShop window tied to the closed test.
SEGA has historically used its own channels and partner outlets to announce playtests and trailers; further platform and release details will typically follow in later developer updates.
The Crazy Taxi franchise’s recognizable arcade roots and three-dimensional urban stages make any new entry noteworthy for players who remember the Dreamcast era as well as modern audiences seeking pick-up-and-play action.
SEGA’s public announcement included a trailer and instructions to register for the closed network test on eligible platforms.

Official registration links, a full list of supported platforms for the test, and any future announcements will come from SEGA.
Readers looking for updates should check SEGA’s official channels and major digital storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop for confirmed release information.
