SEGA is clearly building on the DNA of the Dreamcast original: big, colourful, and unapologetically loud. Sea Lion Wharf, the waterfront destination visible across several screenshots, gives taxi launches and aerial shortcuts a seaside backdrop that the franchise hasn&#8217;t had before.<\/p>\n<h2>Full Release in 2027<\/h2>\n<p>The full <strong>Crazy Taxi: World Tour<\/strong> launches in <strong>2027<\/strong> on <strong>PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC<\/strong>.
