With August beginning, we’re officially just one month away from Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which is set to launch next month on September 25. It’s potentially one of the most hyped releases in the Sonic Racing series I’ve seen, thanks in part to its proximity to Mario Kart World, and also the heaps of Fortnite-like crossover and collaboration content.
If you’re looking to get all caught up with everything you can expect to find on the tracks of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, we’ve put together this extensive list of all the confirmed content set to come to the game. From collaboration characters with other well-known gaming IP to courses that reference classic Sonic releases, here’s all the confirmed content for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds so far!
