Hot Wheels Unleashed is boisterous, fast, frenetic, and surprisingly addictive. It’s clear the developer put a lot of care into the finer details and paired with a deep track creator, high level of customization, and accessible driving, there’s no better arcade racer out in the market right now.
3 games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass by the end of March, 2024. This includes Hot Wheels Unleashed: GOTY Edition & MLB The Show 23.

This week, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT upgrades to DLSS 3, while Slender: The Arrival and Warhammer: Vermintide 2 introduce support for DLSS 3 in new updates. Additionally, HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED 2 - Turbocharged and AirportSim hit virtual shelves in the near future with day one support for DLSS 2. And Land of the Vikings recently exited Early Access with support for DLSS 2.
Plaion and Milestone have officially announced Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged, set to release this October as a sequel to the toy-car racer from 2021.
Arcade/Toy racing games are thriving right now, the first Unleashed is one of the best Hot Wheels games ever and this should be no different. I grew up on Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver 1/2, Crash!, and Velocity X, so this is right up my alley.
Hoping LEGO 2K Drive goes well too, LEGO Racers on N64/PC is still an excellent kart racer.
