Okay, let’s dive into this. There’s this freebie thing going on with Sega. They’re tossing out a version of the Blue Star from Sonic Riders. Why? No clue. But hey, it’s free! It’s all mixed up with their new game, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. I mean, they announced this whole shebang back in December 2024—kind of a late Christmas gift, I guess. Anyway, this is basically the sequel to Team Sonic Racing, which, surprise, sold like hotcakes. Everyone’s been waiting for it to drop on September 25.
So, get this. Before the game even hits, Sega’s like, “Hey, want the Blue Star? Just sign up for a Sega Account.” Seems fair, right? But wait, there’s a catch—you gotta link it to a platform. Okay, one more thing: you actually have to buy the game. So, not entirely free, but, you know.
Oh, and if you’re in North America or Europe, consider yourself lucky. The offer is supposedly only for certain areas, but honestly, Sega isn’t spilling the beans on where exactly. People online are saying it’s available over here, so let’s go with that.
Now let’s talk about how you actually snag this thing. First, sign up for the account. Easy. Second, link it. Then, you buy the game. Finally, claim the code for the Blue Star between September 25 and October 31. Don’t snooze on this—October 31 is your last chance. The code will only work on one platform, even if you got the game on several. So, choose wisely.
Sega’s been pushing these account sign-ups like crazy. They did something similar with Shinobi: Art of Vengeance and a few other games I can’t even remember. The connection between Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and the old Sonic Riders seems kind of fascinating—they’re definitely hinting at more throwbacks.
Oh, I almost forgot—the game’s gonna have all the fun stuff: online multiplayer, local multiplayer, and yep, you can play across platforms. Single-player? Sure, 1-4 players, take your pick. Anyway—wait, was there more? Let me think… Nope, that about sums it up. Just keep an eye on the calendar and maybe grab that Blue Star if you’re into that sort of thing.
