Previously slated for a Winter 2018 release, turns out Team Sonic Racing needs a little more time in the shop to get itself running as well as it can. Sega has announced that the new targeted date for the game is May 21st, 2019 in order to make the game “the best it can be”.
Hey guys! To make Team Sonic Racing the best game it can be, we’re giving the team extra time to work on it. Our new release date is May 21, 2019.
We know delays are no fun, but quality matters most. Thanks for your patience – we’ve got more to show you for TSR very soon!

Having played the game at E3 and followed its progress since announcement, I’m glad to see it getting a little more time and work. Sumo Digital has done some great and fun stuff with their previous Sega racing titles, and if it leads to a greater realization of the “Team” concept and a more quality and content filled product, then this one can stay with the pit crew as long as it needs.
