Today, Sega has exciting news for fans of their racing game,
Sonic Racing Cross Worlds. Starting from November 20, 2025, the second paid DLC featuring the beloved characters
SpongeBob SquarePants and
Patrick Star is now available for download. This new content not only allows these iconic characters to join the race but also introduces fans to a thrilling underwater world, inspired by Bikini Bottom, complete with themed courses and vehicles. The DLC can be accessed through the purchase of the Digital Deluxe Edition or separately via the Season Pass.
To celebrate this launch, Sega is hosting a special in-game event named
SpongeBob Festival, which kicks off on November 21, 2025. Players will have the opportunity to participate in unpredictable online races, where teamwork will be essential as competitors are split into three teams competing on various special race rules.
