OutRun 2006 was released in Europe and North America on the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable in March–April 2006, but was delayed until June for PC. In Japan, OutRun 2006 has only seen a PlayStation 2 release, albeit retitled as OutRun 2 SP. Each version is subtly different so as to play to the strengths of its home system, which includes a link-up feature between the PS2 and PSP versions, a different mission set for the PSP and Xbox Live support on the Xbox.
As of June 12, 2007, this game was added to the Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility List. The game featured an online mode for up to six players. As of May 13, 2009, the servers are offline for the PC, PS2 and PSP versions of the game. The Xbox Live servers went offline on April 15, 2010 due to the discontinuation of Xbox Live for Xbox.

Gameplay
Cars have varying classes ranging from Novice to Professional, with increased top speeds and diminished handling as the difficulty rises. New to the OutRun series is the addition of a separate "OutRun" class, which applies to every car and allows each car to have increased performance in all aspects; cosmetic changes including racing stripes and decals as well as completely renovated bodywork are also evident.
OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast features 15 different cars, the most ever seen in any OutRun game. In addition to the ten vehicles from OutRun 2 SP, new models include the 550 Barchetta, F355 Spider, Superamerica, 328 GTS, and the Ferrari F430. Some models cannot be unlocked on the PlayStation Portable or PlayStation 2 without the use of the cross-system connectivity feature inherent of the two systems (as a result of PSP connectivity being removed from the Japanese PS2 version, all PSP unlockables are included in the Japanese PS2 version from the start).
Coast 2 Coast mode is the game's "career" mode, in which there are many challenges (labeled as "missions") to complete, ranging from racing rivals for the top position to thrilling player's passenger by completing their requests to execute certain driving maneuvers or tests of memory and logic. The racing modes from OutRun 2 SP ("OutRun race", "Heart attack" and "Time attack") are still available, while adding four extra modes exclusive to the Coast 2 Coast mode:
When the game is started for the first time, a limited selection of cars, tracks, challenges, and background music is available. Each individual element can be unlocked through the exchange of "OutRun Miles". which are points that player's score for progression through Coast 2 Coast mode or normal game, but the race does not need to be finished to earn OutRun Miles.
Reception
The game was met with positive reception. It currently has a score of 83% and 81 out of 100 for the PC version, 83% and 82 out of 100 for the PSP version, 80% and 81 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version, and 77% and 77 out of 100 for the Xbox version according to GameRankings and Metacritic.
