Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has continued its post-launch support with yet another major update, as SEGA rolls out a new free DLC featuring popular characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog comic universe.
The latest character pack adds the dynamic duo Tangle & Whisper, originally introduced in IDW Publishing’s celebrated Sonic comic series, bringing fresh excitement to players on both Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2. Following the recent arrival of AiAi from Super Monkey Ball earlier this month, the Tangle & Whisper update further expands the game’s diverse roster.
Released as a free download, this update officially became available on February 25th and is accompanied by a special in-game event: the Tangle & Whisper Festival, which runs from February 26th at 7PM ET through March 1st at 6:59PM ET.
During this festival, a 2x Point Up Chance reward is activated at a rate of 50%, and fans are encouraged to team up with friends as Tangle and Whisper to take on the competition in squad-based matches. In an official statement, SEGA highlighted the excitement around the addition of these Diamond Cutters members and noted that the World Match mode will be temporarily unavailable during the festival period.
This limited-time event aims to celebrate the ongoing collaboration between Sonic franchise video games and their successful comic book adaptations. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has also marked an important milestone for Nintendo hardware.
The title is now available for the Nintendo Switch 2, with existing Nintendo Switch owners eligible for a paid upgrade to the enhanced version.
SEGA has further confirmed that a physical cartridge release is scheduled for the Switch 2 on March 26, 2026, packaging the full base game for collectors and enthusiasts. Since its original launch, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has received praise for its fast-paced action, robust character lineup, and commitment to bringing beloved Sonic universe figures into the racing fold.
SEGA’s strategy of frequent updates and cross-media integration has cemented the game’s place as a standout on Nintendo’s hybrid platforms.
As new characters like Tangle & Whisper join the fray, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds demonstrates SEGA’s ongoing dedication to supporting fans with fresh and engaging content. Players can now experience the thrill of racing as IDW’s Tangle and Whisper by downloading the free update on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
With more events and characters likely to join the grid in the future, the horizon looks promising for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds fans everywhere.
