July 29th, 2026 – Calling all crazy drivers! In case you missed it, SEGA is inviting players from select regions around the world to put their driving skills to the test by participating in the Crazy Taxi: World Tour Multiplayer Closed Network Test. Applications to participate in the multiplayer closed network test (CNT) are open now until August 31st with selected players being some of the first in the world to experience two of the top-speed online multiplayer modes from the game. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is set to release in 2027.
While the full retail game will include single-player and story modes, the CNT will focus entirely on online multiplayer action. Players will be able to participate in two multiplayer modes, Pickup Race and Cops ‘N’ Cabbies, both playable via Ranked Match or Custom Match, where custom lobbies and rules can be set.
- In Pickup Race, up to 6 players will compete with each other to drop off as many passengers as possible within a set time limit, earning as much crazy money as possible.
- In Cops ‘N’ Cabbies, players will be split into two, 3-person teams competing against each other
- Players will be able to race across 2 maps and choose between 4 characters and 6 cars with various tune-up options.
The CNT will run from 2:00 AM CEST on September 12 through 2:00 AM CEST on September 14. It will be used to test the stability of the online multiplayer functionality ahead of the game’s full release and will support cross-play performance on XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, PlayStation 5, and Steam. For more details on the CNT, including info on participating countries, how to apply and requirements for participation, please visit the official CNT website.
