Sonic Forces: PvP Race

The basics

Fast-paced multiplayer racing with iconic Sonic characters and high-speed action. That is how SEGA pitches Sonic Forces: PvP Race on Google Play, where it sits in the Adventure category and carries a content rating of Everyone.

Listing details

The listing shows last updated Sep 18, 2026, version 7.5.0, Android 7.0 or newer, a content rating of Everyone and first released Nov 15, 2017. The Play page carries 24 screenshots, and the written description runs to about 540 words. Google Play labels it as one that contains ads and offers in-app purchases. There is no upfront price.

Features, as listed

The listing goes on to say “Sonic the Hedgehog is back in Sonic Forces, SEGA’s ultimate real-time multiplayer racing game”. One more point the description makes: “What makes Sonic Forces the ultimate multiplayer racing game”. The description says: “Real-time 4-player multiplayer races, compete against players worldwide in fast-paced live races”. In the developer’s words, “Iconic 3D racing tracks, race through Green Hill Zone, Golden Bay, and other stunning environments inspired by the Sonic universe”.

It also states that “High-speed action, run, jump, dodge, attack, and sprint through dynamic courses packed with obstacles, traps, and surprises”. Another line from the listing: “Strategic PvP gameplay, use power-ups, boosts, traps, and special attacks to outsmart rivals and secure victory”. The listing goes on to say “Fans of racing games and endless runners looking for fast-paced action and competitive gameplay”. All of this comes from the store listing, so treat it as the developer’s pitch rather than a hands-on verdict.

This page is built from the Play listing, so check the screenshots and the latest reviews on the Play page before you commit time to it.

Who it suits

Anyone who already likes adventure games, and who is comfortable with a free-to-play model that contains ads and offers in-app purchases. If adventure is not your thing, the star average will not change that. Google Play gives it a content rating of Everyone, which is worth a look if a child will be using it.
