Time to get racing. Sonic Rumble has just dropped a global community challenge, and the first major reward is a fat stack of 5,000 Rings for every single player. The catch? The entire community needs to collectively hit 500,000 uses or races to unlock it.
This isn't just a one-and-done goal. Sega has confirmed this is a tiered event, meaning more rewards will unlock as the community smashes through subsequent milestones. It’s a global effort, so every race you complete contributes to the grand total.
Tiers of Treasure
While the 5,000 Rings are the headliner for the first milestone, the developers have teased what comes next. Getting involved now will help push towards even better loot down the line. Here’s a peek at what's up for grabs in the higher tiers:
- A unique Sonic icon/card to customize your profile.
- A purse of 50 Red Star Coins, a valuable currency.
- An unlockable character model.
The 5,000 Rings alone are a great boost for anyone looking to grab some cosmetics or items from the shop, making this first goal a top priority for the player base.
How do we hit the target?
Simple: play the game. The announcement specifies "500,000 collective uses/races." This means every match you and everyone else around the world plays counts towards that goal. Whether you're a new player learning the ropes or a veteran grinding for rank, your participation directly helps everyone get paid.
Is it worth the effort?
Absolutely. Community challenges are a great way to earn premium currency and exclusive items without spending a dime. Since it's a collective goal, the burden doesn't fall on any single player. Just by playing normally, you're helping the community progress. It's a win-win, so fire up Sonic Rumble and start contributing to the count.
