SEGA used its World Championship 2026 Finals livestream to outline the full Year Two roadmap for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, confirming a slate of licensed DLC packs and a set of free updates.
The arcade-style crossover racer, developed and published by SEGA, will begin Year Two on 3 November 2026; the Year Two Season Pass is priced at $29.99.
The publisher also announced a permanent price reduction for the game on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
SEGA confirmed that both console versions now share the same price: the standard digital edition is $39.99 while the physical "Year One Edition," which includes the Year One Season Pass, is $59.99.
SEGA summarized the Year Two plan during the showcase, presenting both free Day One content and a sequence of paid packs.
