Can Sonic Racing: Crossworlds be played across multiple platforms?
Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, the exciting cart racer that brings together all of Sega's major IPs, is set to break new ground with its cross-platform support. Announced in late August, the game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store).
At launch, Sonic Racing: Crossworlds will support cross-platform play, allowing players to race against friends regardless of their chosen console. This inclusive feature is a significant departure from its biggest competition, Mario Kart World, which remains a Nintendo-exclusive series.
Sega has also announced the availability of a Switch upgrade pack for Sonic Racing: Crossworlds. This feature enables progress transfer from the original Switch version to the new Switch 2, ensuring that players can continue their racing journey seamlessly.
While cross-progression is a small but appreciated aspect of the game's cross-platform support, no information has been provided yet on cross-progression between other platforms and other versions of Sonic Racing: Crossworlds. Similarly, no details are available on cross-progression between the Switch and other consoles.
Players can look forward to competing in a Grand Prix, World Match, or Friend Matches without worrying about where their friends are playing. The game supports up to four-player splitscreen on one console, making it an ideal choice for local multiplayer sessions.
With its cross-platform play feature, Sonic Racing: Crossworlds has the opportunity to take the lead in the racing genre by allowing cross-platform play between all consoles and PC. The official announcements regarding crossplay support and the Switch upgrade pack have been made, setting the stage for an exciting racing experience that transcends console boundaries.
