Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, the dynamic racing game from Sega, has recently expanded its character roster with a notable new addition. Players can now enjoy racing as Goro Majima, also known as Captain Majima, a character popular from 'Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii'.

This release is part of Sega's ongoing commitment to delivering fresh content to the game's dedicated community.
New Racer Hits the Tracks: Captain Majima Debuts in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds
On April 29th, 2026, the virtual racing circuits of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds welcomed a formidable new competitor: Goro Majima, or Captain Majima, as many know him. This eagerly anticipated free downloadable content (DLC) character was made available to all players, significantly broadening the game's diverse cast. Hailing from the action-packed universe of 'Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii', Majima brings his signature style and the Goromaru, a specially designed racing vehicle, to the forefront. Beyond the character and his vehicle, players can also revel in exclusive in-game emotes and audio snippets that capture Majima's unique persona.
Following closely on the heels of Majima's launch, a special in-game event, the 'Captain Majima Festival', commenced on April 30th, 2026. This limited-time festival offers players a chance to earn points and unlock a variety of exclusive collaboration items. These include bespoke titles and decals, allowing players to further customize their in-game presence and showcase their achievements. The event also features 'Point Up Chances', designed to accelerate players' progress in accumulating festival points, making it easier to acquire coveted items. This initiative continues the trend of regular content updates for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which previously saw characters like 'Red' from Angry Birds join the fray earlier in the month, and with Arle from Puyo Puyo slated for a May 2026 release. The game itself saw a physical release for the Switch 2 in March, following its digital debut on the platform in December.
The continuous integration of diverse and beloved characters from various franchises into Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds underscores the game's expansive vision and its appeal to a broad audience. By offering characters like Goro Majima as free DLC, Sega not only rewards its existing player base but also attracts new enthusiasts eager to experience these iconic figures in a high-octane racing environment. This strategy of consistent, engaging content updates is crucial for maintaining player interest and ensuring the longevity of competitive titles in the ever-evolving gaming landscape. It highlights a commitment to evolving the game beyond its initial release, promising a vibrant future for its community.
