A recent Sonic Racing Crossworlds leak may have just revealed one of the wildest crossover lineups SEGA has ever attempted. After its announcement at The Game Awards, the new racer is confirmed for Nintendo Switch—though many questions remain. This week, new details have surfaced via a closed beta, including leaked footage featuring Spongebob Squarepants as a playable racer.
What’s in the Sonic Racing Crossworlds Leak?
According to early test players and footage shared by F2Insider, Spongebob will not only be a playable character, but he’ll also bring along a Bikini Bottom-themed track. SEGA hasn’t confirmed the leak, but this content appears to stem from an internal build of the game tested on PS5. Fans also spotted images of Patrick Star, suggesting he may join the roster as well.

What’s Confirmed—and What Isn’t
Here you go. If this moment goes down in history, I’d name it “the crossworlds truthnuke”. I’m bored now, have at it.

As of now, SEGA hasn’t officially acknowledged the characters or the leaked videos. It’s possible some of this could be DLC or internal testing content that won’t appear in the final release. Still, the idea of seeing Minecraft Steve race against Sonic and TMNT in the same game has fans buzzing.
Final Thoughts
Whether it’s all real or not, the Sonic Racing Crossworlds leak paints a fascinating picture of what SEGA might be planning. Crossovers like this aren’t new, but seeing such a broad IP range suggests SEGA wants this racer to compete with the likes of Mario Kart and Smash Bros. We’ll be watching closely for updates.
