SEGA has confirmed a free content drop for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds that introduces Goro "Captain" Majima as a playable racer.
The publisher announced the Captain Majima pack will go live Wednesday, April 29 at 5:00 PM PT and is available to players who own the Standard (physical or digital) or Digital Deluxe editions of the game.
Background and release details
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is currently supported on PC via Steam, and SEGA is expanding the title with periodic free content drops.
The Captain Majima addition includes the playable character Goro Majima (branded in-game as Captain Majima), his signature vehicle the Goromaru, and a set of special emotes and sound effects.
SEGA instructs players to ensure their game is updated to the latest version so the free content can be downloaded and applied automatically for eligible owners.
Event windows and promotional offers
SEGA also opened a limited event window tied to the drop: beginning Thursday, April 30 at 5:00 PM PT and running through Sunday, May 3 at 4:59 PM PT, players can earn festival points to unlock decals, gadgets and other in-game rewards.
In parallel, SEGA is staging a Steam Free Weekend and a storefront sale to attract new and returning racers.
- Steam Free Weekend: Thursday, April 30 at 10:00 AM PT through Monday, May 4 at 10:00 AM PT.
New players can try Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds at no cost during this period.
- SEGA Steam Golden Week Sale: Thursday, April 23 at 10:00 AM PT through Thursday, May 7 at 10:00 AM PT, with the title listed at 40% off.
Rewritten statement for clarity
SEGA summarized the rollout by noting that Captain Majima will be playable from April 29 and that an additional festival event with earnable points begins April 30, while new players can try the game for free during the Steam Free Weekend.
The publisher emphasized that the free content will be automatically delivered to Standard and Digital Deluxe owners once the game is updated.
What this means for players
Existing owners of eligible versions will not need to purchase the pack separately; they should verify their client has the latest update to receive Captain Majima and the associated cosmetic items.
Newcomers interested in testing the experience can take advantage of the Steam Free Weekend and the Golden Week sale to pick up the game at a discount.
SEGA's timed events and cross-promotional sales are aimed at increasing player engagement and onboarding during a concentrated promotional window, leveraging Steam's Free Weekend mechanics and a high-visibility seasonal sale.
