Milestone is moving the HOT WHEELS game series from track-based racing to open-world exploration with Infinite Rush. The game was announced during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 6. It features four toy-scale islands that players can freely explore, each with activities and a boss called a Rush Master that must be defeated. Over 150 vehicles are divided into four types: All-Rounder, Titan, Drift, and Speeder. A new Track Builder mode lets players create their own courses.

A hands-on preview by 4Gamer.net at Summer Game Fest Play Days 2026 showed two of the four islands. The preview build included an open world where players drive around, complete events, and collect cars. A livery editor and track builder were also present in the preview. The principal game designer asked previewers to approach the game with fresh eyes, signaling the shift from the series' previous linear track format.

The game includes a single-player campaign, split-screen multiplayer, and online cross-play. It will launch on September 24, 2026, for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The Switch 2 version does not support cross-play.
