Sega Reactivates Crazy Taxi Accounts with Taxi-Light Tease

SEGA restored Crazy Taxi’s X and Facebook pages after seven years, posting a five-second clip of a ‘TAXI’ roof light flickering that raised expectations of a PS5 reveal.

SEGA reactivated Crazy Taxi’s official accounts on X and Facebook for the first time since 2019, uploading a five-second clip that shows a ‘TAXI’ roof light flickering to life. The post includes no additional information or links.

The short video ended a seven-year silence on those channels and prompted speculation about a new entry in the series. Industry observers and fans have connected the tease to possible upcoming showcase events, with PlayStation State of Play, Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Showcase among the suggested venues.

Reports and online discussions indicate SEGA has been working on a reboot of the Hitmaker arcade series that spawned Crazy Taxi. Some rumors claim the new project could include online multiplayer features, but SEGA has not confirmed platform plans, release timing or gameplay details and has not issued a statement expanding on the social post.

Crazy Taxi began as an arcade title from Hitmaker and later appeared on home systems, including a high-profile release on Sega’s Dreamcast. The series has had multiple sequels; Crazy Taxi 3 released as an Xbox exclusive in 2002.

Responses on social platforms show interest from longtime players curious about how SEGA might update the series while retaining its pick-up-and-deliver driving mechanics. Until SEGA provides official information, the flickering taxi light remains the sole confirmed hint about the company’s plans for the franchise.
