At Summer Game Fest Play Days 2026, 4Gamer.net played a preview build of HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush, which replaces linear tracks with four open islands built to toy-car scale. The game\u0026#39;s principal game designer told previewers to forget past HOT WHEELS games. Instead of lap-based racing, players drive freely through themed zones-Wheelswood (American city), Gearville (industrial area), Tentacle Bay (seaside resort), and Drifty Temples (Japanese mountain pass)-taking on time attacks, one-on-one races, and mission events like fire responses. The preview build included Wheelswood and Gearville. A roster of over 150 cars, divided into four handling types (Versatile, Speeder, Drifter, Titan), is paired with a livery editor and track builder. Travel between islands is done via airports.
