SEGA Unveils Pac-Man DLC for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Arriving January 2026 on Nintendo Switch and More
SEGA has officially revealed a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Pac-Man DLC in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, the popular kart racing game available on platforms like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.
This exciting downloadable content is set for release on January 7, 2026, bringing Bandai Namco’s iconic Pac-Man into the high-speed world of Sonic and friends.
The crossover marks another significant partnership for the game, expanding its appeal to fans of classic video game franchises. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, developed by SEGA, has quickly established itself as a major player among multiplayer racing titles since its debut.
Building on this foundation, the upcoming DLC will allow players to race as Pac-Man, the legendary yellow character who has defined arcade gaming culture for decades.
In addition to Pac-Man, players can select from the game’s four notorious ghost adversaries—Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde—each making their way into the roster as playable racers. SEGA’s official announcement highlights that, much like previous crossover content for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, the Pac-Man DLC will also introduce a brand-new racetrack inspired by Pac-Man’s iconic maze world, along with a custom vehicle designed for the character.
This adds further depth and variety to the kart racing experience, ensuring both long-time Sonic fans and newcomers will find something to enjoy. In a statement released alongside the trailer, SEGA officials described the collaboration as a "celebration of two legendary franchises,” making it clear that the team aims to honor both the heritage of Sonic and the legacy of Pac-Man.
The company also confirmed that the Pac-Man DLC will roll out simultaneously across all supported platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds continues to expand its universe with a diverse lineup of crossovers.
Additional DLC featuring characters from franchises like Mega Man, TMNT Mutant Mayhem, and Avatar Legends has been announced as future content in the development pipeline.
This growing collection of downloadable characters and tracks has been praised by the community, and early content drops have contributed to a strong, engaged player base. While SEGA has yet to publish detailed sales data for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, industry analysts have noted that the game has consistently ranked among the top kart racers, especially when compared to other major series such as Mario Kart World, which recently surpassed 10 million units sold worldwide as reported by various market trackers. The Pac-Man DLC for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will be available for download on January 7, 2026, through the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, Xbox Marketplace, and Steam.
Fans eagerly anticipating this content can view the teaser trailer on SEGA’s official channels and should stay tuned for more updates on future collaborations.
