What Team Sonic Racing is

Team Sonic Racing is an arcade game developed by Sumo Digital and released in 2019. It was published by Sega. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

A mysterious alien tanuki named Dodon Pa sends invitations to Sonic the Hedgehog and a host of his friends and rivals, summoning them to compete in a grand series of team-based races. As a prize, he offers each racer a custom-built car packed with advanced technology, tailored to their individual style. Though intrigued by the challenge, Sonic and the others cannot shake their suspicions about the eccentric stranger and his true motives, especially with the ever-scheming Doctor Eggman lurking nearby. Divided into teams, characters like Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, and Blaze must set aside their differences and learn to cooperate, sharing boosts and power-ups to cross the finish line…

The main story runs about 13.5 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 60 hrs, roughly 4.4 times the length of the critical path.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3 4130T (2.9GHz) / AMD FX 6300 (3.5 GHz), 4 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 (2GB) / AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB). At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 32GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
