SEGA has opened registrations for the Crazy Taxi: World Tour Closed Network Test, giving players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Steam a chance to try the game’s online multiplayer ahead of launch. Sign-ups are available now and will remain open until August 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT, with participation limited to selected applicants.
The Crazy Taxi: World Tour Closed Network Test is available to players aged 13 or older who have a SEGA Account and access to one of the supported platforms. Signing up does not guarantee entry, as participants will be selected through various methods, including random selection and priority consideration programmes through the official Crazy Taxi: World Tour Discord community.
The multiplayer test is scheduled to run from September 11 at 5:00 PM PT until September 13 at 5:00 PM PT. According to SEGA, the test is focused on evaluating online multiplayer stability using a work-in-progress build, meaning players may encounter bugs, glitches and other technical issues.
Players selected for the test will have access to two online modes. Pickup Race supports up to six players competing to transport as many passengers as possible before time runs out, while Cops ‘N’ Cabbies splits players into two opposing teams. Both modes can be played through Ranked Match matchmaking or Custom Match lobbies.
The test build also includes two maps, six cars, four playable characters and a range of vehicle tune-up options. Single-player and story mode will not be available during the test but are planned for the full release.
Applications are open to players across multiple regions, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia and several other countries in Asia, the Middle East and Oceania.
SEGA also confirmed that cross-play will be supported during the test and can be disabled through the options menu. PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions are not required to participate, and players will be free to stream or upload gameplay, although the company warned that third-party music included in the test build could trigger copyright claims on some platforms. Save data from the test will not carry over to the final game.
