Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Free DLC Given Out by SEGA Before Official Release

Who doesn’t want free stuff, right? If you plan to play Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, SEGA has something piping hot to gift gamers on all platforms. Players can redeem the freebie now, even if the game isn’t officially out until Sept. 25, 2025.

The gift is available only for a limited time, and you’ll want to make sure to redeem the gift on the platform you’re going to play the game, since it’s limited to just one platform per account.
