Hot Wheels Infinite Rush launch and technical details

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, Milestone and Mattel announced that the arcade‑racing title Hot Wheels Infinite Rush would launch on 10 September 2026, two weeks earlier than previously planned, with an early‑access edition available from 7 September. The initial release note described the game’s open‑world structure across four toy‑scale islands—Wheelswood, Tentacle Bay, Gearville and Drifty Temples—and listed the platforms (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC) and cross‑play features. In early August, developers released trailers detailing the four vehicle classes (Drifters, Speeders, Titans, Versatiles), the non‑linear campaign, and extensive customization options. Platform details were expanded to include the ROG Xbox Ally and PC releases on Steam, Microsoft Store and Epic Games Store. By late August, Milestone revealed technical performance targets: the PS5 Pro version aims for 4K at 120 FPS using PSSR, while standard PS5 and Xbox Series X target 4K at 60 FPS. The Xbox Series S is expected to run at 1440p at 60 FPS, and the Nintendo Switch 2 will target 1080p at 30 FPS. Milestone also detailed post-launch plans, including over a year of content with 44 additional vehicles from series like Acceleracers and Highway 35 World Race, alongside a Ferrari Expansion Pack featuring a new island and eight exclusive vehicles. Upon its 10 September release, the game features over 150 vehicles, including Hot Wheels Originals and licensed real-world models. New gameplay mechanics include a ‘Rush Squad’ system for switching between four vehicles during exploration and a ‘Track Builder’ mode, which allows players to design custom courses integrated into the environment.
