Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Crosses One Million Sales as Sega Targets Further Growth
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has surpassed one million sales, with Sega expecting to double that milestone this fiscal year as new platform versions roll out.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has officially cleared the one million copies sold mark. According to financial documentation unearthed by Eurogamer and originally reported by Fran Ruiz, Sega is anticipating another million sales before the current fiscal year concludes. While the racing genre saw heavy competition last year with massive releases like Mario Kart World dominating Nintendo platforms, Sonic Racing carved out a dedicated community by offering meatier mechanics and tougher circuits for veteran players.
Despite earning an Overwhelmingly Positive reception on Steam and solid Metacritic scores, Sega has noted that initial launch figures did not completely match its internal targets. Even so, the publisher remains confident as fresh ports roll out, including the digital Switch 2 release late last year and an upcoming physical cartridge version. The momentum suggests the title has plenty of room to grow its player base across platforms.
Beyond the racetrack, Sega is looking broadly at its historical catalogue for future projects. Financial disclosures indicate the company is pressing forward with revivals of classic properties like Crazy Taxi, Virtua Fighter, and Golden Axe, alongside the heavily anticipated Alien: Isolation sequel currently in development at Creative Assembly. As Sega reinforces its teams for upcoming milestones, the publisher continues to balance high-profile premium games with its ongoing search for live-service traction.
