Released Sept. 10, Milestone’s Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush is praised as a strong realization of the toy brand’s playset fantasy, with a semi-open world built around four distinct islands and 150 unlockable vehicles.
Four vehicle classes and a broad event mix drive that appeal, from standard and elimination races to drift trials, deliveries, collectibles and one-on-one “race for pinks” challenges, though the overall difficulty stays easy even at higher settings.
Switch 2 is the weakest version: the review cites longer load times, 1080p output and a 30fps cap, with occasional dips below 20fps in portable play, versus 4K and optional 60fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Multiplayer also feels constrained on Nintendo’s platform, with no crossplay, online lobbies of up to 12 players that were hard to fill, and split-screen co-op limited to certain race types rather than open-world exploration.
Even with loose handling and platform compromises, the review says the game captures the feel of childhood Hot Wheels play and points to a promising direction Milestone could refine.
