SEGA has shared a few words about the sales of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. This comes as part of the company’s latest financial results presentation towards the end of last year, but is making the rounds today.

It was previously announced that the game had sold over one million copies worldwide. Although that’s an important milestone, this isn’t enough for SEGA. Executive Koichi Fukazawa said that the “initial performance did not meet our expectations”. SEGA intends to give the title further support, including additional DLC, to held sell another million copies within the fiscal year.

Fukazawa said:

July 16: SEGA shared a bit of additional information about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for Nintendo Switch 2 today, including confirmation that the game will contain the entire experience on its cartridge.

This is one of the rare titles on the console to be doing this. Thus far, most third-party publishers have opted to use game-key cards. This has drawn ire from fans as they’re not truly physical – you’re basically getting a blank cartridge as the game needs to be downloaded from the internet.
