- SEGA has previewed the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Year Two update, scheduled for November 3.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is adding a new way to race against just one rival. SEGA’s Year Two 2.0.0 Patch Notes Preview, released on November 2, introduces the major update scheduled for November 3, with Duel Mode bringing that head-to-head contest into focus.
Your rival’s items are in view
Duel Mode lets you see your opponent’s items, gadgets and race position. A Duel Boost gauge fills over time and through item use, adding another element to watch during the race.
Rival Duel offers offline races against CPU opponents, including free characters and paid DLC characters you already own. Online Duel Free Match lets you face another player, while Friend Match supports custom races.
Snackgirls react
Red: Let me see my rival’s item and I’ll immediately want to bait them into using it first. I want to try that little standoff one-on-one.
Nea: The unranked option is where I’d like to unwind with a favorite character. Some evenings, I just want an excuse for one more race.
World Match gets an option that leaves your rank alone
World Match will also add Free Match, where races do not affect rankings. This is separate from Duel Free Match: players looking for casual World Match races and those seeking an online one-on-one contest have distinct options.
The seventh gadget slot has a limit
The Grand Master Plate adds a seventh gadget slot called the Super Slot. It accepts only one-slot gadgets and boosts the effect of the gadget placed there.
The update is also set to introduce 15 new gadgets at launch. SEGA plans to release the full patch notes on launch day.
