An Open Network Test for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will run across late August into early September with timezone-adjusted start and end times. Players can download the test on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Steam, or Epic and preload ahead of the start. The test includes nine full courses and seven CrossWorlds such as Magma Planet and Holoska. Twelve playable characters are available, including Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow, with Persona 5's Joker becoming playable on August 31. The test showcases customization options and provides an early multiplayer racing experience ahead of release.
The exact dates the network test kicks off depends on where exactly you're located. In the US, for those in a PT timezone, it's running from August 28 to September 1, whereas in the ET timezone, the UK, and Japan, it's running from August 29 to September 1--it's all at the same time; the dates just differ because of timezone differences.
There's quite a lot available in the test, notably nine whole courses to choose from and zip through like Metal Harbour, Mystic Jungle, and Colorful Mall. Amongst all of those there are also seven CrossWorlds to get transported to while you're racing, such as Magma Planet and Holoska. You'll have 12 characters to play as, obviously including Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow, and on August 31 you'll also be able to play as Persona 5's Joker--more on that in a moment.
