Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is tagged on its Steam page as action, adventure, and racing, and it puts Sonic series characters behind the wheel. The store description says 23 characters from the series take part as racers, which the publisher presents as the most lavish lineup in the franchise's history. Each race is built around items, car builds, and routes, so the way you win can shift a lot from one event to the next.

The setting revolves around the Traveler's Rings, which link worlds from across Sonic's history into a multiverse. The store description pitches land, sea, and sky as the places you visit. On the second lap, the Traveler's Rings send racers jumping into another world, so a single circuit can turn into a very different course. The game lists 24 main tracks and 15 cross worlds to race in.

Your car is part of the strategy. Beyond the front and rear performance parts, you can change colors, stickers, and textures to make the vehicle your own. More than 70 devices can be equipped to unlock special abilities on the track, changing how you approach corners and shortcuts. Items add more chaos, including a giant monster truck that enlarges your car and flattens rivals as you speed along.

The game supports offline play as well as online matches with players around the world, including cross-platform racing. World matches allow up to 12 players, friend matches let you team up for special rules, and time trials let you compare clear times with racers everywhere. It is a package that rewards both solo tinkering and competitive play.

Steam labels this game Very Positive, which appears as 極度好評 on Steam Taiwan, with 93 percent of reviews being positive. That is a strong signal that most players who reviewed it enjoyed the experience, and the label sits near the top of Steam's scale.

The review volume is in the tens of thousands, which gives the score a solid base. A percentage drawn from a large group is generally more dependable than one from a handful of reviews, which can swing sharply with only a few opinions. Scores can also shift over time as updates arrive and new players weigh in, so it is worth checking the live page before you decide.

All prices below are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The current price on the store page is NT$1990, with no discount applied, and the regular price is also NT$1990. Our own price record is still short, and the only entry we logged is NT$1090 on the most recent day, which is also our lowest recorded paid price. We have never recorded a discount on this game, and it has not been free to keep, so there is no free-to-keep history to lean on.

Because the live price on the page is higher than the NT$1090 we logged, check the header price carefully before you buy. Our price record is still short, so the verdict here is tentative. Based on what we have, we would not rush a purchase at NT$1990 without first checking the live price again.

If you are happy to pay full price now, the game is available at NT$1990 today. If you would rather wait, wishlist it and enable sale notifications, and check back here for the price trend as our record grows.

Traditional Chinese is listed as a supported language, but without the full audio marker, so expect text support rather than full voice work. English is listed with full audio support. All prices here are Taiwan-region Steam prices in NT$ and may differ in other regions or on other storefronts. Free and discount promotions can end at any time, so always check the official Steam page for the current price and terms before you buy.
