Sega has officially brought Crazy Taxi back. The company revealed Crazy Taxi: World Tour during the Xbox Showcase on June 7 and said the reboot is coming in 2027, giving the long-dormant series its first major console release in more than two decades.
The new title lands with a name that should ring a bell for anyone who played the original game, and Sega leaned into that familiarity in the trailer by using The Offspring’s All I Want, the song that was heavily featured in the first Crazy Taxi soundtrack. The move ties the new game to the series’ most recognizable era while also marking a very long gap since Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller arrived on the original Xbox in 2002.
Interest in the reboot had been building for weeks. In May, the series’ social media account posted a teaser showing a taxi rooflight flicker before settling back to normal, a small signal that something was coming. Since 2024, it has also been known that a new Crazy Taxi game was in development, but June 7 was the first time Sega gave it an official name and a release window.
Sega has already said the new game is moving away from a single-player setup and toward an open-world format, which puts a different shape on the revival than the arcade-style original. That is also where the biggest unanswered question sits: Sega has confirmed the title and the year, but not the gameplay details that will explain how Crazy Taxi: World Tour will actually play.
The timing matters because Sega has spent the past stretch pushing other classic properties back into view, including Streets of Rage and Jet Set Radio, under a Sega Universe banner built around reviving older IP. For Crazy Taxi, though, the next fixed point is simply 2027. Until Sega shows more, fans know the name, the song and the year — but not yet the ride.
