Although Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds doesn\u2019t launch until September 25, dedicated fans are already jumping in thanks to the early unlock from purchasing the Digital Deluxe Edition. However, Sega\u2019s dimension-hopping racing game leaves Nintendo Switch 2 players out of the early access party, even if they\u2019ve spent the extra $20.<\/p>\n
The new Sonic game\u2019s Digital Deluxe Edition costs $80 and nets you three bonus costumes for Amy, Knuckles, and Tails, season pass content from IPs like SpongeBob and Minecraft, and the ability to dive into Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds three days early – unless you\u2019re playing on a Switch. Sega made it clear from the beginning that early unlock wasn\u2019t available for Nintendo customers, but as other racers jump into the action, it must hurt these dedicated fans to know that they paid the same amount as Steam and PlayStation customers and are getting less bang for their buck.<\/p>\n
Sure, three days of early access isn\u2019t much in the grand scheme of things, but Sega also used this advanced opening date to launch the free Hatsune Miku update, adding the Project Sekai character to the game and with her, introducing the Dash character archetype to the game. Miku\u2019s debut also adds the five songs from Project Onsoku, a Sonic and Miku crossover music event similar to Project Voltage for Pok\u00e9mon, as background music for races.<\/p>\n
