SEGA Expands Sonic Racing CrossWorlds with Tangle & Whisper and Festival Event
SEGA continues to enrich the lineup of Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, announcing the addition of fan-favorite characters Tangle and Whisper for all players starting February 25, 2026.
This free update is available across platforms, including the popular Nintendo Switch, reinforcing SEGA’s commitment to supporting its racing franchise with regular post-launch content. Since its launch, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds has drawn acclaim for its fast-paced races and dynamic roster, blending beloved characters from the Sonic universe.
The game has become a standout in SEGA’s library, finding particular success on the Nintendo Switch eShop, where competitive family titles consistently perform. A New Festival Shakes Up the Competition Coinciding with the character update, SEGA has unveiled the Tangle & Whisper Festival—a special in-game event kicking off on February 26 and running through March 1, 2026.
During the festival, players will find that the popular World Match mode is temporarily suspended to spotlight unique festival challenges and content celebrating Tangle and Whisper’s arrival.
This focus on themed in-game events is part of SEGA’s broader strategy to keep engagement high within the Sonic Racing CrossWorlds community. “It’s exciting to see more fan favorites get their moment on the track," SEGA representatives stated, emphasizing the company’s ongoing support for expanding the Sonic Racing series with familiar faces and new gameplay experiences. Character Details and Availability Both Tangle and Whisper are now accessible to all players; however, the update does not introduce specific, dedicated karts for the duo.
Instead, they will join the existing garage, allowing fans to use these characters with a variety of available vehicles, continuing the game’s tradition of customizable options. The Tangle & Whisper Festival offers players a limited-time opportunity to participate in themed activities centered around the new additions.
By focusing on timely events and digital content, SEGA aims to foster lasting excitement and replayability—a pattern seen in its ongoing post-launch plans for Sonic Racing CrossWorlds.
