Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launches on PC via Steam on September 25, 2025, with a Standard ($69.99) and Digital Deluxe edition ($89.99) that grants 3-day early access. The Steam store listing also carries the DRM notice many PC players look for before buying.
DRM status (confirmed on Steam)
Yes, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds includes Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM on its PC (Steam) version. On the store page, the game is marked “Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-Tamper.” The page also outlines the content roadmap (Season Pass with multiple post-launch packs) and a small paid add-on available at launch.
Denuvo by itself doesn’t decide performance. Some games run smoothly from day one, others settle after a couple of patches and fresh GPU drivers, and past cases show anti-tamper layers can coincide with brief CPU/IO spikes. The real picture will come once the day-one build and launch drivers are out and people start testing across a range of PCs.
If you’re on PC, the Digital Deluxe edition opens a short early-access window, and the base game unlocks on September 25. The Steam page also lists achievements, cloud saves, and online play. If Sega tweaks the DRM later—removal, replacement, or extra notes—the same store notice area is where that change should appear.
