Hot Wheels is breaking off the track. At Summer Game Fest 2026, Milestone — the studio behind Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged and the recently revived Screamer — revealed Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, a brand-new entry that, for the first time in the franchise, trades closed circuits for a freely explorable open world. It races onto PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC on September 24, 2026.
The reveal arrived as a minute-and-a-half of in-engine footage, and the message was clear: this is a bigger, more adventurous Hot Wheels than the series has attempted before. Where Unleashed built its identity on orange-track loops snaking through giant real-world spaces, Infinite Rush wants you to simply drive off into the distance.
According to Milestone, the game is built around four explorable islands, each with its own distinctive atmosphere, that you can roam at a satisfyingly Hot Wheels-appropriate scale — the trailer is packed with variety, from wildly different car classes and stunt-friendly tracks to environmental set-pieces, including one giant ape-themed sequence that channels a certain King Kong energy.
150-plus cars, co-op and cross-play
Collectors are well catered for: Infinite Rush promises more than 150 vehicles spread across four classes, each with its own special feature to shake up how it handles. That's the franchise's die-cast fantasy intact — the joy of amassing a garage of iconic cars — now turned loose in a world built for exploration rather than lap times.
Multiplayer is a clear priority, with full cross-play support so friends can ride together regardless of platform, plus local split-screen action for up to four players. Between the open-world pivot, the generous car count and the September 24 launch across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC, Milestone is positioning Infinite Rush as the most ambitious Hot Wheels game yet — and a notable arrival in an absolutely stacked fall release calendar.
