Escaping Cities – Sonic Racing CrossWorlds x Godzilla Pack Review (PS5 & Nintendo Switch 2)

What is Sonic Racing CrossWorlds X Godzilla Pack?

As part of Sonic Racing CrossWorlds’ Year 2 Pass, the mighty Godzilla attacks the city! The monster, alongside three cars inspired by him and his legendary rivals, crashes into City Escape in the Sonic Racing CrossWorlds x Godzilla DLC Pack.

Does this DLC pack have a mighty roar? Or is it a whimper? After speeding through ruined cities, this is an escape worth making.

What’s Included

In the Godzilla X Sonic Racing CrossWorlds DLC Pack, the following is included:

• Course: Godzilla Escape
• Machines: Godzilla Cruiser, King Ghidorah Coupe, Mothra Surf
• Additional Jukebox music tracks (Godzilla Escape Main & Final Lap Themes)

In online play, all paid DLC race tracks are accessible, whether you bought them or not. Interestingly, it’s one of the first Sonic Racing CrossWorlds’ paid DLC packs without any new playable characters. The lack of playable racers from the Godzilla franchise is disappointing, but considering the Godzilla Escape course, I think it’s a worthwhile trade-off.

I’ll Make It Through – Godzilla Escape Course

Taking the iconic City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2, Godzilla storms the San Francisco-inspired streets and wreaks havoc across one of Sonic’s most iconic levels.

From the second you start the race, Godzilla makes his presence known right away by blowing up the Sonic Racing sign. Racing downhill, launching off ramps into boost rings, and making tight drifts around level segments from the original stage, it’s a love letter to one of my favorite Sonic stages.

Little touches, like the Missing Mighty & Ray posters from the Sonic Generations version of the stage, or Godzilla holding up the infamous GUN Truck, which you can drive on for a shortcut, show a level of love and care that matches some of my favorite race courses from the base game. Overall, it’s one of my favorite levels in the entire game.

Follow Me, Set Me Free – Music Remix

The biggest reason the Godzilla Escape course is so fun to race across is its amazing music remix. City Escape is one of the most iconic songs in Sonic history, so adapting that for Sonic Racing alone is exciting. But how they remix the track for Godzilla Escape is hype as all hell.

Heavier instrumentation and harsher guitars (more in the vein of Sonic 06‘s Crisis City) recontextualize the iconic lyrics. It’s not just about escaping a city for a big adventure; you are actively escaping attacks from Japan’s most iconic kaiju.

It’s a fantastic way to honor the original track and combine the worlds of Sonic and Godzilla.

Mighty Roars – Vehicles of the Godzilla X Sonic Racing CrossWorlds DLC Pack

While the iconic monsters aren’t playable, two cars and an extreme gear inspired by them are. Fittingly, both the Godzilla Cruiser and King Ghidorah Coupe are heavy Power-Type cars, perfect for crushing the competition. But for those who prefer better handling, the Mothra Surf Extreme Gear is included too.

All three machines look fantastic, and I had a blast racing in them, speeding through the currently running Godzilla Festival (ending on November 15th, 2026).

Closing Thoughts

As someone who wants more Sonic-inspired tracks to race across, the Sonic Racing CrossWorlds X Godzilla Pack is everything I’ve been asking for.

Taking one of my favorite Sonic levels and transforming that into an amazing race track full of hype moments and awesome homages to the source material, alongside a new Sonic remix to listen to on loop for months on end, this DLC is something I easily recommend.
