Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Receives Official Rating Ahead of Nintendo Switch Release

SEGA Accelerates Sonic's New Campaign With Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Rating for Nintendo Switch SEGA is propelling its iconic blue hedgehog into the spotlight once again, launching a high-profile campaign this week that puts Sonic at center stage.

In tandem with this initiative, the publisher's upcoming title, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, has received an official rating in Australia, marking a key milestone ahead of its highly anticipated release on platforms including the Nintendo Switch. The Australian Classification Board issued a 'PG' (Parental Guidance) rating earlier this month for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.

The rating details cite 'in-game purchases, mild gambling themes, online interactivity and chat' as prominent content descriptors—reflecting modern racing game features and a strong focus on online multiplayer experiences.

This official classification follows the game's initial reveal at The Game Awards in December of the previous year, where SEGA confirmed a multi-platform launch and teased that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was 'coming soon.' Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds invites players to 'race across land, sea, air, space, and time,' using Travel Rings to traverse new dimensions teeming with challenges and surprises.

Racers can compete solo or as part of a team in diverse offline and online modes, facing off against global opponents.

SEGA promises deep customization options, allowing fans to build their ideal racing machine, unlock an array of gadgets, and strategically employ power-ups in pursuit of victory. This latest step in the game's development timeline signals SEGA’s commitment to delivering new Sonic experiences to its community.

While the current rating does not mention Nintendo's next-generation hardware, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is confirmed for the Nintendo Switch, further enriching the platform’s robust lineup of racing and action titles. SEGA is also set to make waves with the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations and other projects as part of its initiative to usher in Nintendo’s new hardware era.

As part of the year-long Sonic campaign focused on celebrating the franchise's iconic 'speed and attitude,' SEGA has kicked off a partnership with Red Bull, reinforcing Sonic’s enduring appeal and energetic brand presence.

With the official classification secure, anticipation for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds continues to build.

Fans will be watching for further announcements regarding the game's exact release date and additional platform updates.

For now, SEGA’s blue blur is poised to accelerate into a new generation, bringing supersonic action to Nintendo Switch and beyond.
