SEGA offers updated sales stats for Sonic Racing Crossworlds

2025 was a great year for kart racers, with the latest entry in the Mario Kart series launching alongside the Nintendo Switch 2, and SEGA’s Sonic Racing series returning in all its glory after some less-than-stellar entries. Following the announcement that Sonic Racing Crossworlds had sold 1 million copies in its first month, SEGA has now offered updated sales data.

As part of the company’s latest Fiscal earnings report, SEGA’s Koichi Fukazawa spoke on the ongoing performance of their latest Sonic game: Sonic Racing Crossworlds, stating:

“We recently announced that worldwide cumulative sales have surpassed 1 million units. However, initial performance did not meet our expectations, and we are aiming to sell approximately another 1 million units within this fiscal year.”

Fukazawa continued, “We aim to sustain long-term sales by encouraging players to enjoy the game over time through the continued support of the title including ongoing release of additional downloadable content.”

It is interesting to see that the 1 million figure has not been to SEGA’s satisfaction, especially as Crossworlds represents the most expensive Sonic game yet – retailing initially for $70. Of course, unlike Nintendo’s Mario Kart, Crossworlds has already had multiple sales and so it will likely continue to slowly but surely push more units.

Additionally, Crossworlds still has plenty of previously-announced post-launch content to drop, which should further bring in more players as and when they are released.

Even so, despite being far superior to its last entry, Crossworlds still has quite a ways to go in order to surpass the sales of 2019’s Team Sonic Racing.
