Today, SEGA released a new content update for Sonic Racing, the ultimate high-speed, multiplayer racing experience available exclusively on Apple Arcade. The latest update brings Popstar Amy, Idol Shadow, and new community challenges!

Here is the breakdown on the latest update:

  • A Team that Races Together, Wins Together!

    • Community challenges are now available – work together with the rest of the Sonic Racing community to clear objectives and unlock big rewards.

  • Popstar Amy and Idol Shadow Join the Fun

    • Two new characters enter the race! Players can now unlock Popstar Amy through time trials and unlock Idol Shadow through the new community challenges.

Sonic Racing also had a few updates earlier this year that included new racers Rockstar Rouge and DJ Vector, the addition of time trials, and team combos, which allow players to use special team setups to get powerful abilities like super drift, bonus XP, and more.

Sonic Racing is available now exclusively on Apple Arcade and is playable across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.

Classic Sonic content added to Sonic Racing for Apple Arcade

by

Just a few days ago, we mused on Twitter about how the promised Classic Sonic content announced back in June for Sonic Racing, the Apple Arcade version of Team Sonic Racing, was nowhere to be seen. Either a SEGA HARDlight staffer saw our tweet and realized they needed to get to work OR (more likely) it just so happened to be that today was the day they planned to debut the new content. Included in the new content is Sonic in his Sonic Drift car, the Cyclone, as well as new Green Hill tracks and new music!

You can check out the content now on Apple Arcade, but no word on any new content for Team Sonic Racing for consoles.

Apple Arcade launches with ChuChu Rocket! Universe and Sonic Racing

by

Apple Arcade has launched, if you haven’t been keeping up with the new Apple news around the web it will be a paid service (much like Netflix or Microsoft’s Game Pass) that let’s you play a catalogue of premium mobile games with included features:

– Player can continue the in-game status within iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV devices linked to the same iCloud account.
– There are no ads or in-app purchases for games.
– No always-on DRM.
– Up to six family members per iCloud account are allowed access.
– Players’ privacy is protected by committing to having no tracking of gameplay or behaviors.
– Various game controllers are supported, such as the DualShock 4 and Xbox One controllers.

The service will cost you $5 a month and it seems as of right now its the only way to play Sonic Racing and ChuChu Rocket! Universe, the new entry in the ChuChu Rocket! franchise.

Team Sonic Racing mobile port revealed as Sonic Racing joins Apple Arcade lineup

by


Apple’s newly announced streaming game service Apple Arcade features titles from a variety of studios and developers, and unsurprisingly SEGA is one of many on the list. SEGA has long been a supporter of Apple’s mobile game services, with Super Monkey Ball being an App Store launch title. Now, SEGA will be bringing Team Sonic Racing to mobile with Sonic Racing as a launch title for the service when it debuts this fall. With the “Team” dropped from the title, we have to wonder if the game will lack the team mode which is the backbone of the console version. Interestingly, this also makes the previously leaked 3D ChuChu Rocket mobile game more of a legitimate possibility. Both games appeared as Facebook ads earlier this month. More information as we hear it!
