SEGA announces Crazy Taxi World Tour Closed Network Test
SEGA is dialing up the nostalgia dial, proving once again that their catalog is packed with gems waiting to be rediscovered. In a move that fans have been eagerly anticipating, the company has announced plans to revive many of its older, dormant intellectual properties, including the beloved Crazy Taxi franchise.
The focus is squarely on the upcoming release of Crazy Taxi: World Tour, which promises to be the newest mainline entry for the iconic game since 2002’s Crazy Taxi 3. But before the full-scale launch hits the consoles, SEGA is taking a practical step, inviting players into a closed network test to ensure the online multiplayer experience is rock solid.
To facilitate this check, SEGA has scheduled a limited testing window for September. Players will get to dive into two modes: Pickup Race and Cops ‘N’ Cabbies, giving them a chance to gauge the stability of the online functionality before the official debut.
This closed test will officially go live from September 11th through the 14th. While the full version of Crazy Taxi: World Tour is slated for all current-gen consoles, this initial network check is specifically being extended to PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC users, ensuring a stable experience for those eager to jump into the action.
It’s a fascinating chapter in gaming history watching SEGA bring these classic IPs back. While some have noted the use of generative AI in recent development cycles, the core excitement remains the sheer joy of revisiting familiar, high-energy gameplay. The closed test offers players a direct look at how this nostalgic formula translates into a modern multiplayer experience.
