Sega is inviting players around the world to test out their driving skills in the upcoming Crazy Taxi: World Tour Multiplayer Closed Network Test, announced earlier today. Players can apply to participate in the multiplayer closed network test (CNT) now until August 31st. The CNT will run from 8pm ET/ 5pm PT on September 11th until 8pm ET / 5pm PT September 13th. The goal is to test the stability of online multiplayer functionality before its release in 2027. The sign-up can be done on the official website. Here’s what will be in the testing environment:

• 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.

Aside from the CNT announcement, Sega revealed a new trailer of the classic arcade game, highlighting the game’s West Coast map.
