The Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Steam Free Weekend starts on April 30th! The full game will be playable for free through May 4th, with every base game character, course, and vehicle available to try out. In addition, all game modes will be available, including the single-player Grand Prix and Time Trials modes and of course, online multiplayer modes like World Match, for ranked play, and Friend Match, for custom lobbies. And if you’ve got friends playing on other platforms, don’t worry. With Cross-Platform Matchmaking, you can race with friends (and frenemies) across the world and all platforms within a single online matchmaking environment.
Whether you’re test driving solo or with friends online – but perhaps, are unsure about your PC’s capability to play – we’re happy to report that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds can be played comfortably and smoothly on a wide range of hardware, from the latest NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, all the way down to NVIDIA GTX & Radeon Series.
