The Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Open Network Test isn’t scheduled to begin until August 29, but that hasn’t stopped eager fans from exploring the pre-load. Some players have already managed to access menus ahead of time, and one discovery has sparked speculation about character customization.
Twitter user @TestHedge claimed to have uncovered what appears to be a character skin shop while experimenting with a modified camera. According to their account, the game became stuck on a shop screen showing placeholders where character skins would eventually appear.
At this stage, the discovery remains a rumor, as it has not been independently verified. Still, the possibility of skins in CrossWorlds isn’t far-fetched. SEGA has already confirmed that PAC-MAN’s Ghosts will function as alternate skins rather than standalone racers. Attempting to purchase a skin seemed to link it to Race Park, the newly announced party-style mode.
Cosmetic content has been a recurring element in Sonic titles, from prototype outfits in Sonic Colors: Ultimate to full crossover gear in Monster Hunter Rise. However, fans should temper expectations — if skins are indeed part of CrossWorlds, they may take the form of smaller outfit variations rather than major redesigns.
With the network test just days away, it won’t be long before players know the truth. For now, the alleged skin shop remains one of the more intriguing mysteries hidden in the pre-load.
