Crazy Taxi: World Tour Shows Multiplayer Gameplay at Gamescom 2026
SEGA showed Crazy Taxi: World Tour multiplayer at Gamescom 2026, including competitive modes ahead of the game's 2027 release on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour returned at Gamescom 2026 with a fresh look at its online multiplayer, giving fans a better idea of how SEGA is expanding the arcade-driving formula for the new entry.
The game itself was first announced in June 2026, so the genuinely new Gamescom update is the multiplayer showcase rather than a brand-new game reveal.
SEGA has already confirmed that Crazy Taxi: World Tour is coming in 2027 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Steam, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
