Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has announced via an official news post that Goro Majima from the Yakuza series, appearing as Captain Majima, will be in the upcoming "Captain Majima Content Drop" update launching on April 29, 2026.

Sonic Racing: Crossworlds’ Guest Roster Keeps Growing
Guest characters have been a steady part of CrossWorlds’ updates, with additions like Joker from Persona 5 and Minecraft’s Steve already getting attention from players. The mix of SEGA and partner franchises has kept discussions going online, especially as each new update adds to the lineup. Majima’s inclusion continues that run, bringing in another familiar face from SEGA’s catalog.
With a lineup that already spans Persona, Minecraft, and Like a Dragon, CrossWorlds is quickly shaping up to be SEGA’s most ambitious crossover racer yet—leaving plenty of room for future guest characters to take the wheel.
As part of SEGA’s Steam Golden Week promotion, fans of the series can play the game for free on PC via Steam from April 30 through May 4, alongside a limited-time 40% discount running until May 7.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games Store. For more information on the game, check out the article below!
