If you’re making a kart racing game, the standard to beat is Mario Kart; it always has been, and it probably always will be. If the launch of Mario Kart World has proved anything, it’s that people go absolutely crazy for a wide array of weird characters in kart racers. That’s where Sonic Racing Crossworlds comes in, the latest entry in Sonic’s racing sub-series — and a game that has huge ambitions. That’s an approach that’s integrally different from Mario Kart, and feels like it might please anyone looking for a kart experience with meaningful customization. Sonic Racing Crossworlds launches on September 25 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
