Nintendo Switch owners looking to upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds have just received a rather unexpected price cut. SEGA has significantly reduced the cost of the game’s Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade Pack, bringing its price down from $10 to just $1 in the US Nintendo eShop.
That’s a 90% reduction, making it considerably cheaper for existing owners to move over to the enhanced Nintendo Switch 2 Edition without purchasing the game again. Even better, this isn’t another short-lived eShop promotion that players need to rush to take advantage of. According to the available listing, the new price is a permanent reduction rather than a limited-time discount.
The change is particularly welcome for anyone who purchased the original Nintendo Switch release before moving to Nintendo’s newer hardware. The Upgrade Pack provides a more affordable way to access the Nintendo Switch 2 version while carrying over existing game content and progress.
SEGA has not provided an explanation for the substantial price adjustment, but dropping the upgrade from $10 to $1 makes the transition considerably more appealing for anyone who has been holding off.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is available on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, with the latter offering improved performance and visual quality over the original Switch release. The game also continues to receive additional content, including new characters and crossover additions as part of its ongoing updates.
For existing owners who have been considering making the jump, the upgrade is now considerably easier on the wallet.
