Designed by Steve Ritchie of Black Night, High Speed, T2 Judgment Day and Star Trek Next Gen fame – Jersey Jack Pinball have launched an official Sonic the Hedgehog pinball table. As with most pinball tables, this is aimed at arcade operators and not private collectors (unless you really have the money and floor space for it).
The table is available in North America only and comes in 3 editions: a $9,999 arcade edition, a $12,000 special edition, and a $15,000 collector’s edition. The special edition adds premium finishes, a shaker motor, Sonic-blue “armor”, a dual-layer RGB acrylic battle topper, and Invisiglass. The collector’s edition adds gold playfield accents, Knuckles-red laser-cut “armor”, a mechanical battle topper with widescreen LCD, and a numbered plaque.
Classic Sonic is now available as a free downloadable character for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. Classic Sonic also comes with his car from Sonic Drift which is a lovely attention to detail. An additional SEGA music collection has been added to the in-game jukebox as well. More tracks will be added to this collection as additional characters are added later this year.
In addition to Classic Sonic’s addition, SEGA have revealed that Axel from Crazy Taxi will also be added to the game in August 2026, while Amigo from Samba De Amigo will be added in September 2026. It is currently unclear if Axel and Amigo are free additions or a part of the 2nd year of paid DLC.
A Switch 2 port of Sonic Frontiers with most of the previously released DLC is now available as Sonic Frontiers: Definitive Edition.
Existing Switch owners of Sonic Frontiers can transfer their save files to the Definitive Edition, but there is no upgrade path for existing owners. This means you will need to shell out another £44.99 if you want to play Sonic Frontiers: Definitive Edition. You do get a digital art book and mini soundtrack with this version that is entirely exclusive to it.
Sadly there is some base Switch DLC that will get lost if you transfer your save to the Definitive Edition. The Inugami Korone Collaboration DLC and the Sonic Emote DLC for Koco will not be making an appearance in the Definitive Edition, so if you’re precious about that stuff then stick to the base Switch release.

After first being teased back in December 2023, SEGA have finally showcased the next Crazy Taxi title at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase. Now called Crazy Taxi: World Tour, this new entry in the series puts you in control Axel as he travels around the world in tracking down a nefarious thief who has stolen his beloved taxi. Check out the reveal trailer below:
In more disappointing news, the Steam store page for the game confirms that generative AI was used in the development of the game:
At SEGA Corporation, we utilize generative AI as a support tool for developers, aiming to provide better content to our users and enable developers to focus more on creative tasks.
We have used such generative AI support tools during development of Crazy Taxi: World Tour. No AI was used in reference to the performers in the game.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC, PS5 and Switch 2 at some point in 2027. Please do not support developments that use generative AI as the use of AI is damaging to the environment, AI models steal artwork from living human beings, and it also puts real artists out of work.
Studio MDHR have revealed they are developing a retro throwback Cuphead game called Mighty Cuphead Adventure. What’s really interesting is that the lead platform for the game is the SEGA Master System.

Mighty Cuphead Adventure will release on SEGA Master System, PC and “modern consoles” at some point in the future. There is no release date at the time of writing and the game is still in active development.

Along with the announcement of Sonic Pico Park, the classic edition of Pico Park is now available for free through Steam. Pico Park 1 & 2 are also discounted on Steam.
Sonic Pico Park has no set release date at the time of writing, but the game is set for release on PC. There is also no word on whether the game will land on other platforms.
