The Apple Arcade-exclusive Sonic Racing app received an update last Tuesday. It adds vehicle customization, a new character variant, and a new community challenge mode.

Why it matters: SEGA describes it as the game's largest update to date on Apple Arcade.

What's new

  • Players can now customize vehicles for all base characters by swapping front, rear, and wheel components.
