The September test has two crossplay PvP modes, Ranked and Custom matchmaking, while retail Steam lists single-player, multiplayer, PvP, and cross-platform multiplayer.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour has online PvP and cross-platform multiplayer. In the September Closed Network Test, Pickup Race supports up to six players, while Cops 'N' Cabbies uses two three-player teams. These numbers describe the test build; SEGA has not published one player-count rule for every retail mode.

Pickup Race
Players compete to drop off as many passengers as possible within a time limit and earn the most money. Steam is the official source for the “up to six players” limit. SEGA's shorter test description says to reach passenger destinations first; neither source publishes every scoring or tie-break rule.
Cops 'N' Cabbies
This mode divides six players into two three-player teams: Taxis and Cops. SEGA's announcement confirms that test format, but the public material still does not explain role rotation, scoring, overtime, or whether the same team size will apply after launch.
Use the distinction when choosing a mode: Pickup Race is an every-driver-for-themselves passenger race, while Cops 'N' Cabbies is the team option. Do not treat “up to six players” as proof that every retail playlist will always fill six slots.
Ranked versus Custom
Ranked Match pairs players at a similar skill level and tracks competitive progress. Custom Match supports custom lobbies and rules. SEGA has not disclosed a complete setting list, party-size matrix, invite flow, rank tiers, or whether every retail mode will offer both match types.
What crossplay does and does not prove
Steam's retail record uses the broad “Cross-Platform Multiplayer” label, and the test Q&A allows crossplay to be disabled. The test platforms are Xbox Series X|S / Xbox on PC, PS5, and Steam. Switch 2 is a retail platform but not in this test.
This confirms a connected multiplayer design. It does not yet publish a final retail crossplay matrix, account-link rule, cross-save system, or platform-by-platform online-subscription requirement.
