Background: from Year 1 to Year 2

According to Siliconera, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launched in September 2025 as Sonic's return to the racing genre. GamesRadar reports that Year 1 featured crossovers with SpongeBob SquarePants, Minecraft's Steve, Yakuza's Ichiban Kasuga and other properties. Video Games Chronicle notes that Year 1 also had six paid crossover packs and regular monthly free content, so Year 2 keeps the same format. More detail is in Video Games Chronicle's report.

For newcomers, the biggest change is price. The Standard Edition falls from $69.99 to $39.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition from $89.99 to $59.99, both effective immediately. According to Siliconera, the Year 2 Digital Deluxe Edition includes the game and Season Pass 2 for $59.99.
