Hot Wheels Unleashed

Racing
Out September 30 for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Switch

This Hot Wheels-branded racing game comes from the studio behind MotoGP, Milestone. By no means the first videogame centering on the Mattel toy line, Unleashed allows you to craft your own tracks, collect a variety of Hot Wheels vehicles, and race them against a friend in 2-player split-screen mode or online in races featuring up to 12 players. Expect lots of co-branded DLC (both free and premium) to follow, including cars themed around characters from the worlds of Barbie, Street Fighter, TMNT, DC Comics, and more.
