How to Unlock Red Sage in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds—Sage Alternate Costume

Red Sage is an alternate costume you can unlock in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for Sage, a character introduced in Sonic Frontiers.

This AI character normally appears in a white dress with blue data appearing in parts, but her original look was much darker with red data.

If you prefer that original look, here is how you can unlock red Sage in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.

To unlock Red Sage in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, you need to win the Secret Grand Prix set of races.

Before you can participate in these races, you will need to have gotten the gold trophy for the seven other grand prix sets in the game. Using tickets in the races to retry rounds does not affect your ability to get Red Sage. When we unlocked the Secret Grand Prix, we had finished all races in the Sonic Speed difficulty, so if you have gotten gold in all of the High Speed and Normal Speed and don’t see the Secret Grand Prix, try to play the top speed available to you.

As you might imagine, Red Sage has all of the same attributes as the normal version. She is still a speed character and has the same voice lines. Outside of the color change, the biggest difference between the two is that you will see Red Sage appear to glitch out, and the red and black data in her head will be quite erratic.

How to Use Red Sage in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

After unlocking Red Sage, you can play as her by choosing Sage in the character selection screen. While she still looks white and blue in that menu, a new box will open letting you choose between the default look and her black dress and red data.

One thing to note when you choose to play as Red Sage, for some reason, the game will treat her as a different character than the normal Sage look. If you are playing a grand prix, your chosen rival will have a generic comment towards you, not a personalized conversation like usual. Additionally, you may notice the default Sage as an opponent racer.


Are you a big fan of the Red Sage look in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, or do you prefer the more “pure” form in her default look? Let us know in the comments or on the Insider Gaming forum.
