Sega and Capcom Collaboration Brings New Content to Sonic Racing CrossWorlds
Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, developed and published by SEGA, continues to expand its roster with the latest Season Pass update.

To celebrate the crossover, SEGA ensures that the legendary Mega Man series theme song makes its return within Sonic Racing CrossWorlds.
According to SEGA’s official statement during the digital event, this collaboration aims to “offer fans a miraculous team-up of blue heroes that honors decades of video game history.”
