HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush Platforms and Performance
Every SKU, published frame-rate targets, couch play, online fields, and the Switch 2 exceptions.
HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush is scheduled for September 10, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X, and PC via Steam, Epic, and the Microsoft Store. Ultimate Edition Early Access is September 7. PC hardware numbers live on system requirements. Dates and editions live under release date and editions.
Game director Domenico Celenza’s late-August interview is the cleanest source for frame-rate targets. Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox listings fill in player counts, Play Anywhere, and the Switch 2 exceptions.
Published performance targets
| Platform | Target |
|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 Pro | Up to 4K with PSSR, up to 120 FPS (PS5 Pro Enhanced) |
| PlayStation 5 | 4K at 60 FPS |
| Xbox Series X | 4K at 60 FPS |
| Xbox Series S | 1440p at 60 FPS |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | 1080p at 30 FPS |
| PC | See system requirements; DLSS 4 and FSR 4 are named on Steam |
Those are studio targets. Celenza said Milestone tried to keep island complexity intact, tuning draw distances and LODs rather than deleting landmarks. PS5 and Series X use Unreal features such as Nanite and Lumen; Switch 2 uses a more traditional pipeline.
PlayStation lists DualSense effects, Remote Play, and PS5 Pro Enhanced. Xbox listings add 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, and Xbox Play Anywhere between Series hardware and PC. A Steam or Epic copy is its own PC license.
ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X run the Windows 11 PC build, so they inherit the system requirements row, EOS, Easy Anti-Cheat, and the controller recommendation — not the Series S 1440p 60 target.
Split-screen and online fields
Local split-screen supports up to four players on the platforms that advertise it.
Switch 2 needs extra sentences. Official site footnotes said Nintendo Switch 2 “will have 6 competitors per race.” Celenza later said the six-vehicle limit is not a general restriction. In local split-screen on Switch 2, the engine renders once per viewport, so the total field (humans plus AI) is capped at six. Online on other platforms still lists up to twelve. Xbox store capabilities say online 2–12 and local 2–4. PlayStation lists up to 12 online with PS Plus, and 1–4 locally.
Until Milestone publishes a Switch 2 online lobby size as clear as Xbox’s “2–12,” treat twelve as the PS5 / Xbox / PC online field, four as the couch maximum, and six as the Switch 2 split-screen cap.
Cross-play exception
Online races support up to twelve players on the home consoles and PC. Cross-play is advertised as full cross-play except Nintendo Switch 2, consistent across Steam, the official site, and Milestone news posts. UGC sharing uses the same asterisk. A Switch 2 player is in a separate pool.
PC online uses Epic Online Services with Steam account linking, plus Easy Anti-Cheat. Console online follows PS Plus on PlayStation and Game Pass Core / Ultimate on Xbox.
Official modes include Quick Race, Elimination, Waypoints, Smashing Wheels, Time Attack, and Drift Master. Online, offline, and split-screen availability vary by mode — check the playlist after launch.
Wishlist snapshots versus live stores
Milestone’s September 1 roadmap article put an asterisk on Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam: “Pre-orders are not available. The game can currently only be added to your wishlist.” That sentence described those storefronts on that date. It was not a cancelled SKU.
This wiki is being written in September 2026, days before launch. Do not treat a September 1 wishlist asterisk as a permanent “this SKU cannot be bought.” Open the current PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Steam, Epic, or Microsoft Store page, or start from the links hub. If a store still shows wishlist-only, that is a storefront status, not a missing platform.
Physical Day One notes belong with retailers and the editions page. Confirm what your regional store sells.
Choose from the published targets: PS5 or Series X for 4K 60; PS5 Pro for up to 120 FPS with PSSR; Series S for 1440p 60; Switch 2 for 1080p 30 outside cross-play; PC if you clear the spec sheet. Ultimate is Early Access on September 7. Then read getting started. Confirm the live storefront the week you pay — targets are the studio’s promise; the buy button is the store’s.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is Nintendo Switch 2 in Infinite Rush cross-play?
No. Official materials exclude Switch 2 from full cross-play and some create-and-share features. PS5, Xbox, and PC can play together.
How many players does split-screen support?
Up to four locally on platforms that list split-screen. On Switch 2, the director said local split-screen caps the field (humans plus AI) at six cars.
Were Switch 2 and Steam wishlist-only?
On September 1, 2026, Milestone’s roadmap post marked Switch 2 and Steam as wishlist-only. That was a snapshot. Check official stores rather than assuming those SKUs cannot be bought.
What does PS5 Pro add over base PS5?
Celenza said PS5 Pro pushes up to 120 FPS versus 60 on the base console, using PSSR at up to 4K.
Does Xbox Play Anywhere apply?
Xbox store pages list Play Anywhere for the Series / Microsoft Store license. Steam and Epic copies are separate licenses.
