While it seemed silly at first to see Sonic driving a car, the blue blur's racing games have become some of the best Sonic games of all time. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the upcoming video game that will take this racer to new worlds. Sadly, we don't know when it will arrive, but that doesn't mean you have to wait long to get your hands on it. Sega is hosting a closed network test so let's show you how to sign up and participate.

How to sign up for the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds closed test

You don't need anything but a valid email address and a PS5 to play Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds to be eligible for the test. Just make sure you sign up by February 19. After this date, signups will be closed and you will not be eligible to play in the test.

Even though the game is coming to other platforms, only PS5 players will be able to play this closed test.

Step 1: Visit the official Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Sega site.

Step 2: Scroll down and click Closed Network Test.

Step 3: Read the rules and enter your email in the field.

You will also need to provide your date of birth, full name, country, and platform. You will also be subscribed to other Sega emails.

Step 4: Wait until February 20 when all the people who are selected will be notified and given instructions on how to access the test.

Signing up does not guarantee you will get a spot in the test, but it isn't a first-come first-served system so you have just a good a chance as anyone else if you register by February 19.

If you do get selected, the test will run from February 21 at 4:00 pm P.T. until February 23 at 4:00 pm P.T. and have access to six tracks, five cross worlds, nine characters, and 16 vehicles. The characters in the test include: * Sonic * Tails * Amy * Knuckles * Shadow * Eggman * Omega * Zazz * Cream

Finally, anyone who is chosen and participates will get an exclusive in-game bonus when the full game launches.

Anyone who bought Samsung's pricey Odyssey series of ultra-wide monitors just found another reason to fill up every inch of it.

This isn't just a simple partnership that brings some cool stickers or logos either; Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will officially launch with support for a 32:9 aspect ratio. It gives Odyssey G9 owners a considerably wider view of the battlefield.

MelGeek MADE68 Ultra V2 Review: Great for gaming, even better than I expected for typing
Rapid Trigger is great, but the switches and acoustics are what won me over.

I have spent years using mechanical keyboards, and Hall Effect switches never really tempted me away from them. I understood the gaming appeal. Adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger can make a meaningful difference in competitive games, but I also spend hours every day writing. Typing experience matters just as much to me.
