Spin to win

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds' new Festival is focused on the upcoming Minecraft collab, with the challenges for this event set to make things even more ridiculous.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds debuted to 98% "Overwhelmingly Positive" Steam reviews (now down to 96%), with the game receiving praise for its absolutely fantastic core driving – Sega says races are won by "players who think strategically and race skillfully, not just those who get lucky." However, fast-paced driving mixed with the typical kart racing mechanics can make CrossWorlds extremely hectic at points, but that hasn't scared Sega at all, as the next in-game Festival is set to focus on the wildest mechanics.

The other challenge however focuses on the Spin Drift gadget, which – as the name implies – spins your entire car around when you try to drift, both making it a bit harder to control, and a weapon in itself. So if you thought races in CrossWorlds were too chaotic already, maybe give this Minecraft Festival a miss. It runs between October 9 at 8pm ET until October 11 at the same time.
