Formula 1 full 2026 lineup is coming to Hot Wheels Infinite Rush video game
In a groundbreaking crossover for motorsport fans, Formula 1 and Hot Wheels are set to bridge the gap between die-cast collectibles and digital racing. The upcoming F1 Car Collection Pack for HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush will allow players to command all 22 official team cars from the 2026 grid for the first time in a video game format.
Bringing the 2026 Grid to Life
Developed through a powerhouse collaboration between Milestone, Mattel, Inc., and Formula 1, the expansion recreates the entire 2026 Formula 1 grid. Each vehicle has been meticulously modeled based on its Hot Wheels die-cast counterpart. These cars will join the Speeder categoryâthe fastest class within the gameâjoining a massive roster of over 150 vehicles.
The pack represents the most significant gaming activation to date between the two brands, which have been building momentum through various products since their partnership launched in 2024. While many fans are already following the technical shifts in the sport, such as how Nico Rosberg downplays concerns over 2026 Formula 1 regulations, this digital expansion offers a high-speed, toy-scale way to experience that new era of racing.
High-Speed Competition and Global Access
The F1 Car Collection Pack is scheduled to arrive in March 2027 as downloadable content. Once released, players can compete globally, testing the limits of the 22 official cars across specialized high-speed tracks and challenges.
Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1, noted that the move allows fans to âimmerse themselves in the world of F1 and enjoy the speed, competition, and drama of the sport in a whole new format.â
Andrea Loiudice, Publishing Director of Milestone, expressed pride in being the first to bring these iconic die-cast cars to a digital platform, stating: âBringing the full 2026 F1 grid to HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush... is an exciting milestone for us.â
HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush is currently available on:
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S
- Nintendo Switch 2
- ROG Xbox Ally / Ally X
- PC (via Steam, Microsoft Store, and Epic Games Store)
The F1 Car Collection Pack will follow as DLC in March 2027.
