Milestone and Mattel have confirmed that Hot Wheels Infinite Rush will launch worldwide for Nintendo Switch 2 on 10 September 2026, with both physical retail copies and a digital release on the Nintendo eShop.
The announcement arrived alongside a new trailer showcasing the game's high-speed arcade racing set in oversized Hot Wheels environments.
Background
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is being developed by Milestone, the Italian studio best known for its racing franchises including MotoGP and RIDE, in partnership with Mattel, the owner of the Hot Wheels brand.
The title positions itself as an open, arcade-style racer built around Hot Wheels scale and aesthetics and targets Nintendo Switch 2 as a primary platform at launch.
Key features and gameplay
According to the publisher's feature outline, the game centers on four themed islands—WheelsWood, Tentacle Bay, Gearville and Drifty Temples—each designed in Hot Wheels' signature scale and style.
Milestone and Mattel describe these locations as "dynamic, freely explorable environments," where players can jump between areas, smash through obstacles, search for hidden collectibles and perform gravity-defying stunts that extend beyond the franchise’s iconic orange tracks.
The title will include more than 150 vehicles across four distinct classes, each with unique handling and upgrade paths.
Players can assemble what the developers call a "Rush Squad," unlocking cars that range from original Hot Wheels designs to licensed vehicles from premium automotive brands such as Ferrari.
Multiplayer and social features
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush supports both online competition and local play.
The game offers split-screen local multiplayer and online races that include leaderboards and asynchronous challenges.
Races can host multiple competitors, while local split-screen supports up to four players.
Creation tools and customization
Customization plays a major role: the game features Sticker and Livery editors, expanded wheel customization, and an enhanced track builder.
The track-building tools introduce a ground-snapping system that lets modules attach directly to the environment to leverage the oversized world.
Players will also be able to place action markers to add virtual opponents to custom tracks, defining AI paths and behaviors for shared creations.
Release and availability
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush will be available at retail and digitally on Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 10 September 2026.
The trailer and feature summary from Milestone and Mattel provide a detailed look at the game's environments, vehicle roster and creation tools in advance of launch.
