Sonic Racing CrossWorlds launches Sept 25 PC arrives 12 hours later

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, Sega and Sonic Team’s ambitious kart racer, will launch worldwide on September 25, 2025, for consoles, with a staggered PC release and an early-access window for deluxe buyers. The console editions go live at 00:00 Eastern Daylight Time on September 25, which corresponds to late evening on September 24 across US Pacific and Mountain time zones and morning hours across Europe and Asia. The PC version arrives 12 hours later at 12:00 EDT. Players who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition received advanced access beginning September 22. The title is also releasing on Nintendo Switch at launch, with a separate Switch 2 version expected later this year.

Sonic Team has highlighted several practical details ahead of release. The game can be preloaded across platforms and the download is roughly 20 gigabytes. A demo intended to showcase single-player features is available, and publisher communications indicate demo progress will carry over into the full release. Reports conflict about which platforms received the demo; some accounts describe a PlayStation 5 exclusive trial while others list PC, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch among demo platforms.
