Sonic Racing: Crossworlds Accelerates into the Future with Handheld and Digital Releases

This article shares expanded details about the upcoming release of Sonic Racing: Crossworlds on the latest handheld console, providing further information on how players can enjoy the game across various platforms.

The game is set for a September release on several systems including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, with the handheld version arriving on the new console. Although there is no dedicated edition planned for the new system initially, updated plans are promising a digital launch just in time for the winter season and a physical release scheduled for early 2026.

Sega has addressed concerns about previous release methods by ensuring that the physical version on the new console will include the full base game stored on a high-capacity 64GB cartridge. This move guarantees that the actual game is directly accessible, rather than simply providing a download code.

The digital version for the new handheld will be available during the holiday period.
The physical edition is expected in early 2026.
A $10.00 USD Upgrade Pack is available for those ready to access the game sooner, and players will retain their saved progress across updates.

Despite the release occurring a little later than originally anticipated, these updates indicate that Sega is taking steps that many players will welcome as they prepare for the adventure in Sonic Racing: Crossworlds on the new console.
