Sega has detailed the contents of the upcoming Patch 3 Update for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which is scheduled to go live tomorrow morning. This update serves as the foundation for a series of free downloadable content releases planned for the next several months, introducing guest characters and vehicles from various Sega and partner franchises.
The rollout of new playable racers will begin in April 2026 with a dual release. Players will be able to access Red from the Angry Birds franchise, who arrives with the Super Roaster vehicle. Joining him in the same month is Goro Majima, appearing in his Captain Majima persona, alongside the Goromaru vehicle. The character roster will expand further in May 2026 with the addition of Arle from the Puyo Puyo series and her Twinkle Bayoen vehicle.
In addition to the new characters, the Patch 3 Update expands the in-game jukebox with eight new musical tracks. These selections focus heavily on Sega’s arcade racing history and include:
- MAGICAL SOUND SHOWER – Hiro (From Outrun)
- Let’s Go Away – Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (From Daytona USA)
- Soul on Desert – Jun Senoue (From SEGA Rally 2)
- Like The Wind (B Course) Arcade Version – Hiro (From Power Drift)
- Outside a Crisis – SEGA (Katsuhiro “Funky K.H” Hayashi) (From Super Hang-on)
- Main Theme (Enduro Racer) – Hiro (From Enduro Racer)
- God Only Knows – A-One
- Like the Wind (Reborn) – Sampling Masters MEGA (From Power Drift)
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and the original Nintendo Switch – with a Nintendo Switch 2 native version of the game set to launch next week.
