Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is adding Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's Captain Goro Majima to the roster this week. More specifically, a playable version of the beloved Like a Dragon protagonist will arrive in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on Wednesday, April 29 alongside a new kart and new cosmetics.
Released in September 2025, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the latest kart racing spinoff in SEGA's 35-year-old flagship franchise. While the core gameplay mechanics of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds closely resemble those found in prior racing games like Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Team Sonic Racing, the game's titular world-shifting gimmick set it apart from its predecessors and its competition when it launched last year. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds currently sits at a Top Critic Average of 83 on OpenCritic, with 94% of critics recommending the game. The crossover racer has used that launch momentum to propel itself into a strong post-launch cycle, releasing a plethora of both free and paid DLCs in the seven months since its debut.
Mario Kart World picked up the trophy for Best/Sports Racing Game at The Game Awards 2025, but there were two way better kart racers this year.
