Sonic Racing Crossworlds has officially sold over 1 million copies

2025 is 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 following some less-than-stellar entries. Just one month following the official launch of Sonic Racing Crossworlds, the game has sold over 1 million copies.

As reported by the publication Gematsu, Sonic Racing Crossworlds has managed to sell over 1 million units since its launch in late September. Alongside this, the publisher also released some player stats, revealing that so far over 74 million races have taken place; 31.5 million Grands Prix have been completed and more than 13 million ranked matches have occurred in total.

Despite being a massive part of the history of video games, Sonic titles in general are not massive sellers (especially compared to Mario), with the highly-successful Sonic Frontiers from 2022 having reached around 4.5 million copies as of 2025.

In addition, Sonic Racing Crossworlds is the first Sonic title to have retailed for $70 – and given that the game has only been out for a month – there have yet to be any sales or discounts.

As mentioned, Sonic Racing Crossworlds will likely never reach the highs of even the lowest-selling Mario Kart title. Still, its success is notable and will hopefully mean that SEGA has an incentive to continue supporting the game for the long-term – perhaps even beyond its previously-stated DLC plans.
