Sega Takes a Jab at Mario Kart World

On another front, the Sonic franchise is preparing for the launch of Sonic Racing: Crossworlds in 2025. However, it's not alone in the kart-racing arena, as Nintendo announced Mario Kart World during a Nintendo Direct focused on the Switch 2. Mario Kart World is slated for release alongside the Switch 2 on June 5, 2025.

Sega took to Twitter (X) on April 3 to playfully poke at Nintendo’s announcement. The post began with "Big day for worldly racing games!", seemingly in celebration of Mario Kart World. Yet, Sega quickly added that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds would be the "ONLY upcoming kart racer you can play with your friends." This friendly rivalry between Sega and Nintendo continues with the upcoming releases of CrossWorlds and Mario Kart World.

The year 2025 promises to be an exhilarating and competitive period for kart racing enthusiasts, with two industry giants launching eagerly anticipated titles. While CrossWorlds will be available across multiple platforms, Mario Kart World aims to leverage the innovative features of the upcoming Switch 2.

Ultimately, fans are the real winners here, with both CrossWorlds and Mario Kart World set to deliver high-quality, enjoyable experiences. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is scheduled for release in 2025 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC, though no specific release date has been announced yet.
