SEGA has officially announced that the legendary arcade icon Pac-Man will make his debut in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, with the crossover launching on January 7.
The collaboration marks a significant moment for both franchises, uniting two classic video game mascots in a high-speed racing adventure designed to excite longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is SEGA’s latest entry into the kart-racing genre, following the success of previous Sonic racing titles on platforms like the Nintendo Switch and other consoles.
The timing of Pac-Man’s arrival not only broadens the game’s appeal but also underscores SEGA’s commitment to fostering playful crossovers that celebrate gaming’s rich history.
To commemorate the announcement, SEGA released a dedicated Pac-Man-themed trailer.
The video showcases Pac-Man zipping through vibrant tracks alongside Sonic and his friends, highlighting his unique abilities and signature visual style.
According to SEGA, the trailer serves as both a nostalgic nod to arcade-era gamers and an introduction for younger audiences to one of the industry’s most enduring mascots. In a statement accompanying the reveal, SEGA emphasized their excitement about bringing Pac-Man to the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds roster.
The company noted that this addition demonstrates their ongoing effort to provide fresh content and memorable experiences for the gaming community.
They expressed gratitude toward fans "for continuing to support these legendary characters and for making collaborations like this possible." Pac-Man has remained an industry staple since his debut in 1980, and his inclusion in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the latest in a string of crossovers that have kept the character relevant for over four decades.
Meanwhile, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise continues to be a cornerstone of SEGA’s lineup, with multiple titles and spinoffs enjoying lasting popularity across Nintendo Switch and other platforms. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is available digitally through the Nintendo eShop, with regular updates introducing new characters, tracks, and features.
The addition of Pac-Man is expected to drive further engagement, offering fans new reasons to revisit the action-packed racing game. With the January 7 release date drawing near, SEGA encourages fans to experience the Pac-Man crossover firsthand and enjoy a blend of retro charm and modern racing excitement.
The Pac-Man trailer is currently available on SEGA’s official social media channels and YouTube, giving a sneak peek into the high-speed action awaiting players when Pac-Man speeds onto the track.
