Sega has unveiled an exciting pre-release promotion for their highly anticipated racing game, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. Players can now claim a free Blue Star Extreme Gear, originally featured in the classic Sonic Riders (2006), as a special bonus ahead of the game's multi-platform launch on September 25, 2025.

This nostalgic throwback to Sonic's hoverboarding adventures serves as both a celebration of the franchise's racing history and an incentive for fans to create Sega Accounts. The promotion comes just two months before CrossWorlds hits shelves worldwide, following its successful announcement at The Game Awards 2024.

The Blue Star, designed by Tails in Sonic Riders lore, holds special significance for long-time fans. To claim this exclusive in-game item, players must:

1. Register for a Sega Account
2. Link at least one gaming platform where they plan to play CrossWorlds
3. Purchase the game before October 31, 2025
4. Redeem their unique promo code through the official promotion website

While the offer has regional restrictions, reports confirm availability in North America and Europe. Existing Sega Account holders with linked platforms automatically qualify for the promotion.

This marks Sega's latest effort to grow their account system, following similar promotions in Shinobi: Art of Vengeance and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. The Blue Star inclusion suggests CrossWorlds will feature numerous callbacks to Sonic Riders, building anticipation among franchise enthusiasts.
