Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds recently committed to a second year of free and paid updates, and as part of the blue blur’s 35th birthday bash this week, Sega has revealed three new characters.

Starting today, racers can now play as “Classic Sonic”, including his machine, the “Mach Cyclone”. He will be followed by Axel from Crazy Taxi at some point in August 2026 and Amigo from Samba De Amigo in September 2026. This update will also include a new Sega Music Collection.
