The upcoming game titled “Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds” is due for release this year, promising a delightful trip down memory lane for Sonic the Hedgehog enthusiasts. As you might recall, a game reminiscent of that era is “Sonic Riders,” which hit shelves back in the early 2000s on platforms like GameCube, PS2, Xbox, and PC. Since the unveiling of “CrossWorlds” in 2024, eagle-eyed fans have picked up several nods to “Sonic Riders,” such as the return of Jet the Hawk and the resurrection of Extreme Gear. In a recent announcement, Sega has offered a free bonus for “Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds” that’s another nostalgic wink to “Sonic Riders.” Fans of this classic game should definitely seize this offer while it lasts!
Sega has revealed that the iconic Blue Star Extreme Gear is joining the lineup of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. First introduced in the game Sonic Riders, this particular gear was crafted by Tails for Sonic, and it quickly became a fan favorite. Over the past 19 years, the Blue Star has appeared in various video games and comics. Now, players can get their hands on the Blue Star when they sign up for a Sega Account within Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. A trailer featuring the Blue Star in both games is available in the linked post below.

This year, Sega introduced its Account system, initially providing complimentary content in “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.” Since then, they’ve been adding more content, including games such as “Shinobi: Art of Vengeance” and “Raidou Remastered.” The latest example is “Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds,” and to obtain the Blue Star reward, you’ll need to follow these steps. The Blue Star prize will be accessible from September 22nd until October 30th.
Based on what’s been presented so far, it appears that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds aspires to cater to fans of multiple Sonic racing games, including Sonic Riders and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Sega has expressed a desire to attract players from the latter game in particular. Whether Sega can successfully blend all the best aspects from these previous titles is yet to be determined, but the developers are certainly giving it their best shot.
Fortunately, we won’t need to wait too long before getting a glimpse of how Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is developing. The game is slated for release on September 25th across various platforms. A digital version for Nintendo Switch 2 will follow later in the year, with a physical edition available early in 2026. This year, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will be the major Sonic game, but 2026, marking the 35th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog, may hold some special surprises for fans. While Sega hasn’t revealed their plans yet for celebrating this milestone, they have unveiled a unique logo, suggesting that fans can look forward to something exciting.
