Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush, released on PS5, is reviewed as a generally solid arcade racing game that builds on Milestone’s successful Hot Wheels Unleashed formula. Multiple outlets say the racing remains enjoyable, delivering the toy-car appeal the franchise is known for, including the sense of play associated with its track-style presentation.
Both reviews also describe the shift to an open-world structure as the biggest point of contention. One outlet argues the open-world approach feels unnecessary compared with the more focused, circuit-based design of the earlier Hot Wheels Unleashed games. Another characterizes the result as “fun yet flawed,” suggesting the expanded sandbox includes problems that accompany the broader exploration.
Overall, the differing angles are mainly about emphasis: one review focuses on why the open-world change may not suit the franchise’s strengths, while the other frames it as an ambitious exploration mode that does not fully escape its shortcomings. Both agree, however, that the game’s core arcade racing is its main draw.
