Sega’s Sonic Racing DLC Plan Upsets Deluxe Buyers
Sega’s Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Year 2 DLC will cost extra, even for Deluxe Edition owners who were told they’d get all future paid DLC.
AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Sega has revealed the Year 2 DLC roadmap for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, starting November 3. The new packs include crossovers with Godzilla, Evangelion, Virtual Sanrio Puroland, Segaland, Midgar Pack, and Reload Revival Royal. Sega says the full set will cost $40.
The problem for some players is that the game’s Digital Deluxe Edition was sold with a promise of “all future paid downloadable content.” That has led to backlash, since people who paid $100 for that edition still need to spend extra to get the new packs.
Players have also complained that the game held back a lot of crossover content for paid DLC. Some fans say the game launched with only Sonic characters and no outside crossovers, even though that was a big part of the appeal.
The DLC packs usually cost $6 each, and the releases will roll out over time. Godzilla arrives in early November, Evangelion is set for early 2027, and the Final Fantasy VII content still has no date.
