SEGA has officially opened applications for its Crazy Taxi: World Tour Multiplayer Closed Network Test (CNT), available from now until August 31. Selected players will be among the first in the world to experience two of the game’s top-speed online multiplayer modes.
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 1:00AM BST (8:00AM MYT) on September 11 through 01:00AM BST (8:00AM MYT) on September 13. 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.
