SEGA will add Goro "Captain" Majima to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as a free downloadable character on April 29, 2026, the publisher confirmed.
The update is scheduled to roll into a limited-time in-game festival beginning April 30, 2026, where players can earn event points redeemable for decals, gadgets, and other cosmetic rewards.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has continued to expand its roster through regular free DLC drops, and the Captain Majima arrival follows the recent addition of Angry Birds’ representative Red earlier in April 2026.
SEGA described the Captain Majima drop as the next content update targeted at keeping the player community engaged through seasonal events and character crossovers.
What the April update includes
- Playable character: Goro Majima (Captain Majima)
- New vehicle: the Goromaru, tied to the Captain Majima character
- Special emotes and voice sounds unique to the character
The company also confirmed that the Captain Majima character will be distributed as free DLC, consistent with the game's model of periodic complimentary character releases.
The festival that begins on April 30 will allow players to accumulate points by competing in event-specific activities and exchange them for cosmetic items.
