Sega has officially revealed Crazy Taxi: World Tour, a new entry in the long-running Crazy Taxi arcade franchise.
Announced during the Xbox Games Showcase, the title is slated for a 2027 release and will arrive on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo's Switch 2.
The announcement trailer teases a return to San Francisco and confirms licensed music from the Offspring, including the song "All I Want."
Background and platforms
Crazy Taxi began as an arcade and Dreamcast-era series known for its frantic, score-driven taxi gameplay.
With the World Tour reveal, Sega is positioning the franchise for modern consoles and PC.
The company’s Steam store listing for the game also notes that generative AI was used in a support capacity during development, an item the store page explicitly discloses.
The Switch 2 listing signals Nintendo platform support; Nintendo’s eShop remains the primary digital storefront for Switch-family releases.
What the trailer shows
The announcement trailer does not include direct gameplay footage but conveys the game's intent: World Tour appears to update the original Crazy Taxi formula for contemporary audiences while retaining core arcade mechanics.
The trailer suggests updated vehicle designs and familiar pick-up-and-deliver objectives, including playful passenger conditions such as transporting a stack of pizzas.
The sequence ends on a tease that the "World Tour" subtitle will encompass more locations or content in future reveals.
Studio notes and transparency
Sega has framed the project as a next-generation take on the classic franchise.
The Steam page’s note about limited generative AI usage provides transparency about tools used during development, following increasing industry scrutiny around AI-assisted content creation.
What’s next
Sega has set the release window for 2027 and confirmed platform support across current consoles and PC.
Further details—such as concrete gameplay footage, specific launch date, pricing, and post-launch plans—are expected in subsequent marketing updates.
For Nintendo players, any Switch 2 digital release would likely appear on Nintendo’s eShop when the publisher provides a storefront listing or launch date.
