Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Gets Massive Update, Godzilla DLC Today as Year Two

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has been getting some great DLC and post-launch support from SEGA, and that's set to continue for another year, starting today, 3rd November 2026.

A major game update is set to be released today, bringing the kart racer to version 2.0.0 and marking the beginning of the game's official Year Two.

In the below video, SEGA provides a broad overview of what's being added and improved:

There's a lot to go over, but the cliff notes version is as follows.

• New mode: Duel mode, a 1v1 race with all-new mechanics
  • Can be played competitively or casually, against other players or CPU drivers
• A new Grand Master Plate includes a super slot, which amplifies whichever gadget you place there
• 15 new gadgets added to the game
• Balance adjustments in PvP modes
• World Match has been expanded; Ranked Match is the usual online multiplayer, while Free Match is for casual play
  • Free Match will not interfere with your rank
• Weekly Play missions have been implemented, rewarding you for completing specific objectives
• New music: SEGA Fighting Beats Infinity. Includes music from various SEGA fighting games
• Other updates, improvements, and bug fixes
• Festivals now last 10 days instead of 3
• Festival winning streaks are now kept even if your team places second

The official patch notes are not yet available, but I'll update the story with the link when possible.

As well as this big free update, Year Two's first DLC pack also launches today. It brings Godzilla to CrossWorlds, and includes the following:

• Course: Godzilla Escape
• Machines: Godzilla Cruiser, King Ghidorah Coupe, Mothra Surf
• Additional Jukebox music tracks
• Additional sounds

The DLC is included with Season Pass Two, or you'll be able to buy it standalone — presumably at the same price as previous DLCs, which go for $5.99/£4.99.
