Sonic Racing Hatsune Miku Festival Rewards & Dates
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, is once again featuring Hatsune Miku for another limited-time Festival, but the 2026 edition is no mere retread of last year’s crossover. The Hatsune Miku 2nd Festival starts on October 2, providing a limited time to earn Festival Points and earn a new round of Miku-themed customization items.
SEGA has also announced 13 exclusive decals for the festival, as well as more Festival Point rewards previewed in the official lineup of prizes which includes a title, a horn, and a gadget. It’s a short event that lasts a few days, so it’s useful to know when it’s coming and how Festival rewards work before you dive into the game.
For players in India, the event ends on October 5 at around 5AM and starts on the morning of October 2. Indian time is based off time converted directly from SEGA’s published UTC+8 schedule.
So that gives the players where the Festival is located about 3 days and 23 hours to get through it. Since the event has a hard end time (to a server time, rather than just at the end of October 5 locally), players are advised not to wait until they last a few hours to claim their final rewards.
What is the Hatsune Miku 2nd Festival?
The Hatsune Miku 2nd Festival is a time-limited online Festival in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds that celebrates the game’s second Hatsune Miku collaboration.
The original Hatsune Miku crossover released in 2025 with Miku as a playable racer, her Diva Macchina vehicle and additional music. The first Hatsune Miku festival followed in October 2025.
The 2026 installment is specifically titled by SEGA as the Hatsune Miku 2nd Festival, rather than just another run in the original Festival. Most importantly for collectors and even non-collectors, SEGA says the event includes 13 unique decals to collect.
That distinction does make a difference if you’ve already played the 2025 Festival. With a globetrotting adventure in the past and a space-faring saga on the horizon, the new event offers you yet another reward track to grind through instead of banking on the older event’s rewards.
Hatsune Miku Festival Rewards
Attraction of the 2026 Festival Drawing the largest Miku -related.
SEGA has confirmed a total of 13 decals can be obtained from the Hatsune Miku 2nd Festival. The promotional art displays the decals with a number of different Hatsune Miku art work and poses, so players will be able to deck out their machines in several way’s.
The Resounding Harmony title as well as the Speedy Shortcut kit can be found in the official SEGA Festival Point reward image. That very image also reveals the event’s special horn reward.
13 decals” – Sega’s textual announcement does not, however mention details on the rewards graphic associated. That distinction matters, because the text announcement doesn’t offer a full text list of each rewards or the exact threshold in Festival Points.
The 13 decals are the primary collection target
Decals are most likely the biggest incentive to participate if customization is your main goal.
The official artwork depicts various Miku-inspired designs, not thirteen copies of the same design. They can be used to customize machines, which is consistent with the Festival system’s overall focus on collecting cosmetic rewards via limited-time events.
SEGA did not list the exact Festival Point requirements for each decal in its written announcement. Thus, you should refrain from making assumptions about certain point thresholds until they are shown or verified within the game.
How to Earn Festival Points
Festival Points are earned by taking part in the game’s online Festival events.
Festivals are team-based competitions: players choose one of three teams, then race and complete event-specific challenges. The points they earn contribute toward unlocking rewards, including decals and horns.
Festival features have changed over time. Updates have adjusted how events work and added rules designed to make them more engaging. Players can also take part in World Match during a Festival, so the event doesn’t necessarily prevent access to other online races.
For the Hatsune Miku 2nd Festival, follow these steps:
1. Open Festival mode once the event begins.
2. Join the available races and complete the listed objectives.
3. Earn Festival Points as you play.
4. Check your reward progress periodically.
5. Keep participating until you’ve unlocked the rewards you want.
Because objectives can vary from one Festival to another, check the event details in-game instead of relying on rules from a previous Festival.
How Is This Festival Different From the 2025 Festival?
The most glaring difference is the reward lineup.
The first Hatsune Miku Festival was held from October 3 to October 6, 2025, after Miku’s crossover content was implemented. This event was part of the original Hatsune Miku collaboration and featured Festival rewards available through the game’s Festival system.
The 2026 event is officially the 2nd Hatsune Miku Festival and features 13 brand-new Miku-design decals in addition to the rewards shown in SEGA’s current promotional image.
This is relevant to returning players as the 2026 event should not be considered to be merely a second opportunity to earn all the rewards from 2025.
SEGA has not mentioned in their current announcement that the 2025 reward set will be returning as part of this Festival. It only directly advertises the 13 decals of the 2nd Festival.
Are the Hatsune Miku Rewards Forever Exclusive?
No not at all.
Since SEGA has said Festival rewards could be made available through other means in the future, and gadgets obtained through Festivals could be given out through future updates as well.
So it would be wrong to say that all of the Hatsune Miku 2nd Festival rewards will be gone for good after October 5. It’s still a limited-time event, so playing within the time frame is the only way to take part in this particular Festival. But the wording clearly leaves the door open that they may be coming back through another means of distribution at some point.
From a collector’s perspective, the practical advice is to view the event as now-or-never, rather than presume the items will be eternally exclusive or placed on sale imminently elsewhere.
Does the Festival Add a New Hatsune Miku Character?
No. The 2026 Festival announcement does not confirm a new playable Hatsune Miku character.
The title “2nd Hatsune Miku CrossOver” may sound like it means another racer, vehicle, or character addition, but that hasn’t been announced.
The first crossover, in 2025, added Hatsune Miku as a racer, introduced the Diva Macchina, and brought five related tracks to the Jukebox.
For the 2026 Festival, SEGA has highlighted the event and its rewards, including 13 decals. The announcement doesn’t mention a new Miku racer or machine, so it shouldn’t be taken as confirmation of another playable version of her.
What Players Should Do Before the Festival Ends
Since the event is only going to be four days long, the only preparation you need to make is to make sure you have time to play rather than tow your racing rig outdoors.
Look at the Festival screen early
Don’t wait until the last day to see how the current Festival objectives function. The ingame event screen should tell you the active rules and rewards progression when the event is live.
Prioritize Festival Points
The whole point of playing the Festival is to gain Festival Points and move along the reward track. On the other hand, if you constantly race regular races without knowing if they contribute you to the Festival, you will spend your scarce event time in a futile way.
Monitor Your Reward Progression
There are 13 decals, so completing is a larger collection goal than just earning one event cosmetic. See how many rewards you have left, not that a race or two will get you everything.
Leave a Little Time Before the Deadline
For Indian players, the event finishes at around 5:29 AM IST on October 5. Don’t make your last session for the collection be on the exact cutoff. Maintenance, connection issues or just more racing than you thought later, suddenly the buzzer is “you” and you did do too little.
