While it seemed silly at first to see Sonic driving a car, the blue blur's racing games have become some of the best Sonic games of all time. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the upcoming video game that will take this racer to new worlds. Sadly, we don't know when it will arrive, but that doesn't mean you have to wait long to get your hands on it. Sega is hosting a closed network test so let's show you how to sign up and participate.

How to sign up for the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds closed test

You don't need anything but a valid email address and a PS5 to play Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds to be eligible for the test. Just make sure you sign up by February 19. After this date, signups will be closed and you will not be eligible to play in the test.

Even though the game is coming to other platforms, only PS5 players will be able to play this closed test.

Step 1: Visit the official Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Sega site.

Step 2: Scroll down and click Closed Network Test.

Step 3: Read the rules and enter your email in the field.

You will also need to provide your date of birth, full name, country, and platform. You will also be subscribed to other Sega emails.

Step 4: Wait until February 20 when all the people who are selected will be notified and given instructions on how to access the test.

Signing up does not guarantee you will get a spot in the test, but it isn't a first-come first-served system so you have just a good a chance as anyone else if you register by February 19.

If you do get selected, the test will run from February 21 at 4:00 pm P.T. until February 23 at 4:00 pm P.T. and have access to six tracks, five cross worlds, nine characters, and 16 vehicles. The characters in the test include: * Sonic * Tails * Amy * Knuckles * Shadow * Eggman * Omega * Zazz * Cream

Finally, anyone who is chosen and participates will get an exclusive in-game bonus when the full game launches.

You should be on the lookout for gaming laptop deals if you're thinking about making an upgrade -- these devices are pretty expensive, so any discount will help cushion the blow on your wallet. Here's an offer from Dell to consider: a $420 discount for the powerful Alienware m18 R2 with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, which reduces its price to $2,380 from $2,800. You can either pocket the savings or use them to buy more video games and accessories, but you need to act fast because there's a chance that the gaming laptop's price will be back to normal as soon as tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop
The Alienware m18 R2 makes a run at the best gaming laptops with top-of-the-line specifications and a striking design. In addition to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, which our gaming laptop buying guide says is among the top-tier GPUs, the machine is equipped with the 14th-generation Intel Core i9 processor and 32GB of RAM that's the sweet spot for high-end gamers, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. You'll be able to play the best PC games at their most demanding settings on the Alienware m18 R2, and you'll even be prepared for the upcoming PC games of the next few years.

3 PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (February 14-16)
Players charge at each other in Chivalry 2's Arena mode.

PlayStation surprised us earlier this week and a new State of Play showcase that highlighted a ton of upcoming PS5 games to look forward to, such as Metal Gear Solid: Delta and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. However, we have a long time to wait for most of those games, and even longer if you want to snag them on PlayStation Plus. This month has no shortage of new games coming out to play, but if you don't have the time or money to get them all, PlayStation Plus has you covered. We picked out some gems from the catalog that might have gone under your radar at the time. Whether you want a deep RPG, fantastic party game, or hardcore multiplayer title, these are the games you should play this weekend.
The Outer Worlds

There's a good chance that Avowed will eventually make its way to PS5, but right now, there's no official word on that. What has been on PlayStation Plus for a while is the last major RPG from Obsidian, The Outer Worlds. Often compared to a Fallout in space, this is a more contained RPG experience where you explore several hub locations rather than a single open world. The entire game is a parody on corporations, capitalism, and class that hits way more than it misses. You are given a ton of different build options, and the companions are some of the best we've had the pleasure to meet. This isn't a huge game, but we do need to give you fair warning that it is leaving the service this month so you will need to commit to it if you want to finish it all. Even if you don't, it is worth a purchase to be ready for The Outer Worlds 2.

How to rebind skills in Avowed

Making proper use of all your best abilities in Avowed is the easiest of the tips and tricks you can take into the game. When you begin, you will have your healing and mana potions set on your quick select bar, followed by the first skill you unlock and first companion ability. That's great in the early game, but it isn't long before you unlock new skills that you want on that slot more than what is put there for you. You can always access all your abilities through the tactical menu, but that is a bit cumbersome. Instead, here's how you can remap your quick skills to whatever you want.
