Fans Accuse Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Of Breaking Deluxe Edition Promise After Revealing FF7 DLC: ‘Paid $100 For This Sh*t, Guess I Learned My Lesson’

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a great racing game with a ton of post-launch support. Unfortunately, the balance between bombarding players with new content and how it’s been monetized hasn’t been equally impressive. Sega recently teased a collaboration with Final Fantasy VII and the rest of its year 2 DLC plans. The only problem is that fans who spent $100 on the Deluxe Edition will have to pay extra to access it.

The game’s year 2 DLC roadmap kicks off on November 3 and was previewed over the weekend. It includes the following crossovers: Godzilla, Evangelion , Virtual Sanrio Puroland, Segaland, Midgar Pack, and Reload Revival Royal. Each pack is expected to add new stages and character skins, and the whole thing will cost players $40. Cloud racing against Sonic racing against SpongeBob? Sounds neat! Here’s why some existing players feel screwed.

It goes back to a tweet Sega put out prior to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds‘ launch in June 2025. “Pre-Orders for the Digital Deluxe Edition are now live!” it read (via TheGamer). “This edition includes: Base Game, Season Pass, All future paid downloadable content, Bonus Sonic Prime characters.” It’s that “all future paid downloadable content” that has gotten Sega in hot water and led their latest promotional marketing for year 2 DLC to get community noted on X.

“All future DLC” is very different from just year 1 DLC, even if that’s what some people might have expected based on recent industry practices. “Paid 100 dollars for this shit, guess i learned my lesson,” one player wrote on Reddit.
