Sonic Racing: Crossworlds physical copies for Nintendo Switch 2 confirmed not to be Game Key-Cards; two new trailers uploaded

by

In a recent FAQ regarding, specifically, the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the upcoming Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, Sega confirmed the physical versions of the game will not be on a Game Key-Card. The entire base game will instead be built into a standard game card with no downloads required besides free patches as they come. This also makes it Sega’s first Nintendo Switch 2 game to not be sold in retail stores as a Game Key-Card. You can check here to see the other games they launched as Game Key-Cards and learn how those are different, and less desirable, from regular physical releases.

In addition, the physical Switch 2 version will not be available until early 2026, while the digital release will come on Holiday 2025. All other versions of the game will launch on September 25th, 2025 as planned.

In the very same FAQ, Sega also confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 1 version of the game, whether physical or digital, will include the option of a $10 USD purchase to upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 version later on. Using this upgrade option will also allow you to carry over any save data and paid DLC, including pre-order bonuses, from Switch to Switch 2 with ease. This should all serve as excellent news to anyone considering either the Switch or Switch 2 versions of the game.

At the same time, Sega have aired two new trailers, as well as shown some of their special pre-order DLC bonuses. Check in after the break to see those.

Sega confirms release date and details for Nintendo Switch 2 versions of Sonic X Shadow Generations and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S; both launch alongside Switch 2 console with caveats

by

We’re a little more than a month away from the heavily awaited (and heavily controversial) launch day of Nintendo’s new game console, the Nintendo Switch 2, and Sega’s got four amazing games lined up to launch with the console. Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut and Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army were already confirmed to be there on June 5th, 2025, alongside the Switch 2 console itself, but Sega have just confirmed that the Switch 2 versions of Sonic X Shadow Generations and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S will also be there that day, along with the Switch 1 version of Raidou Remastered. Pre-orders have already begun for each of these games in NA.

Sonic X Shadow Generations has been confirmed to have better resolution and framerates compared to the Switch 1 original, and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S will have new modes based around the Switch 2 Joy-Con mouse controls, making these exciting new ways to play in Nintendo’s hybrid ecosystem. Sadly, there are some major drawbacks that are sure to make these upgrades less of a no-brainer than they oughta be. For more on that, plus some pre-order trailers and links, check in below the break.
