History

It all started when the manufacturer of Hot Wheels toy cars, the American company Mattel, approached the British company Hutch Games with a proposal to create a game. The companies have entered into a licensing agreement. The Hutch team spent an entire week at the Mattel office in Los Angeles to learn everything they could about the Hot Wheels brand.

The first version of the game (0.1.3442) was released on October 13, 2016 for Android platforms by Hutch Games. December 21, 2016, Hot Wheels: Race Off (version 1.0.4606) was released for iOS devices, and also appeared on the App Store and Google Play. On March 1, 2017, the game was released for tvOS. On March 2, 2021, the last update of the Hot Wheels: Race Off game was released (11.0.12232), after which Hutch Games announced the termination of service and support for the game.

On November 1, 2024, Hutch relaunched a project called Hot Wheels: Race Off+. It was reported that Mattel is going to cooperate with the company again, and that the game will be released on December 5 in the Apple Arcade. On December 5, 2024, the full version of the game was officially released.

Gameplay

The game has three modes:

  • Daily Race Off (closed from March 2, 2021) — in this mode, the player will need to overtake 3 leaders on different tracks to receive rewards. At the same time, the player will have only 2 lives, and if he loses, they will be taken away. If the player loses both lives, the race ends and the player gets nothing.
  • Multiplayer mode (closed from March 2, 2021) — in Hot Wheels: Race Off featured a multiplayer mode in which, after logging in via Google Play Games, you can play against other players from around the world.
  • Single—player mode (currently available in all versions) is a single-player mode. In it, you can complete tracks, discover new stages and collections, and upgrade your car.

In the game, the player and another car race on a long straight track. The goal of the game is to overtake another car, try not to use up fuel and not roll over. At the same time, you can also receive coins that can improve your performance, such as speed, grip, and others.
