Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Crossplay is supported for online multiplayer, allowing players on the main supported online platforms to race together. There is one important exception: Nintendo Switch 2 is explicitly excluded from the advertised full crossplay feature.
Which Platforms Support Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Crossplay?
Milestone advertises full Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Crossplay alongside the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC versions. PC is available through Steam, Microsoft Store and Epic Games Store.
Nintendo Switch 2 is the exception in the publisher’s store wording. The Switch 2 version still has online multiplayer, but it is excluded from the full cross-platform pool used by the other versions.
| Platform | Crossplay status |
|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Supported |
| Xbox Series X|S | Supported |
| PC | Supported |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | Excluded from full crossplay |
Can PS5 and Xbox Players Race Together?
Yes. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are part of the Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Crossplay ecosystem. That means friends do not need to buy the same console version simply to share online races.
Online play supports up to 12 players, giving cross-platform matchmaking a larger field than the game’s four-player local split-screen mode.
Can Console Players Race With PC?
Yes. PC is included in the full cross-platform multiplayer plan. Players using the supported PC storefronts can join the same wider online environment as PS5 and Xbox racers.
That is useful for a game with Ranked matches, Rush Events and Private Races because the available player pool is not divided as sharply by hardware.
Why Is Nintendo Switch 2 Excluded?
Milestone has not published a detailed technical explanation for the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusion. The important confirmed point is simply that the crossplay footnote removes Switch 2 from the full feature.
Nintendo players can still use local split-screen for up to four people and the Switch 2 version includes online multiplayer. It just should not be described as part of Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Crossplay with PS5, Xbox and PC.
Does Crossplay Include Shared Tracks?
The Track Builder is designed around community sharing, with custom creations intended to be shared across supported platforms. The same platform exception attached to cross-platform features should be kept in mind for Switch 2.
Track Builder lets players snap modules onto terrain, build around structures and place action markers that tell AI opponents where to race, accelerate and brake. Cross-platform sharing gives those creations a much larger audience than one console community alone.
Does Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Have Cross-Progression?
Milestone has clearly promoted Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Crossplay, but it has not made cross-progression a headline feature in the same way. Do not assume that buying the game on two different platforms automatically carries the same campaign save, garage and unlocks between them.
Crossplay describes who you can race online. Cross-progression describes whether your save moves between platforms, and those are separate systems. Until Milestone confirms account-level save transfer, progress should be treated as platform-specific.
Do You Need a Subscription for Crossplay?
Console online requirements still apply. PlayStation lists PS Plus as required for online play, and Xbox online multiplayer follows Microsoft’s normal account and service requirements. PC does not use those console subscriptions.
Local split-screen is separate, so you can still race with up to four people on one supported machine without relying on Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Crossplay.
How Many Players Can Race Online?
Online multiplayer supports up to 12 players. The game also includes leaderboards, synchronous races and asynchronous challenges, giving the online side more than one way to compare performance.
For players choosing a platform based on friends, the main answer is straightforward. Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Crossplay connects PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, while Nintendo Switch 2 sits outside that full cross-platform group.
