《Sonic Racing CrossWorlds》玩家要求 Year 2 免费，因 Digital Deluxe Edition 曾承诺“all future paid DLC”

A number of Sonic Racing CrossWorlds players have demanded that the game’s Year 2 content be made available as part of the Digital Deluxe Edition, due to the wording used when it was originally promoted.

Sega announced the full details for Year 2’s upcoming content over the weekend, as well as a permanent price drop for the base game from $70 to $40 (and from $90 to $60 for the Digital Deluxe Edition).

This includes another six packs of crossover content, which will be available either as separate payments or in a Year 2 Season Pass costing $29.99.

Some players, however, have raised issue at the pricing for the Year 2 Season Pass, and are claiming they shouldn’t have to pay for it at all.

Their reasoning, as noted by The Gamer, goes back to marketing messaging for the game before it was released, specifically a tweet posted in June 2025, three months before the game’s release on September 25, 2025.

The tweet states that the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game includes the “base game, Season Pass, all future paid downloadable content and Sonic Prime characters”.

It’s the reference to “all future paid downloadable content”, and the fact it’s listed as a separate item from the Season Pass, which has had some players suggesting this means all the Year 2 content should be free too.

At face value it appears the tweet was an unfortunately worded promise at a time when no further content may have been planned for the game beyond the initial first year. At the time of writing, however, it has not yet been removed.

VGC has asked Sega for comment on the matter, and will update this article if it provides a response.

Year 2 of Sonic Racing CrossWorlds starts on November 3, with the first paid crossover pack based on Godzilla.

The six paid packs will feature the following crossovers:

Pack 1 – Godzilla (one track, three vehicles) – Nov 3, 2026
Pack 2 – Evangelion (Rei and Asuka, one track, three vehicles) – Jan 2027
Pack 3 – Virtual Sanrio Puroland (Hello Kitty and Kuromi, one track, two vehicles) – Q2 2027
Pack 4 – Segaland (one track, three vehicles) – Q3 2027
Pack 5 – Midgar (Final Fantasy 7 Remake content TBC) – Q3 2027
Pack 6 – Reload Revival Royal (Persona content TBC) – Q4 2027

Free DLC content will also continue to be released for the game, including Bayonetta (on November 3), McLaren Racing (a new car and Sonic skin coming in late November) and Aigis from Persona 3 Reload (early 2027).

Players who buy the Season Pass will get access to Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast controller decal packs now, as well as vehicles based on each console when Year 2 launches on November 3.

Players who own both Season Pass 1 and Season Pass 2 will also get Super Shadow and his Super Dark Flare vehicle as an extra bonus.
