    Official Reveal for Hot Wheels Infinite Rush

    The official announcement trailer for Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is now live on EB Games Australia Trailers’ YouTube channel, and it confirms a September 24 release date for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. Where this 90-second video establishes the launch timing, other leaks hinted at a $49.99 retail price. The publisher still hasn’t officially verified this pricing; please take it with a grain of salt.

    Gameplay Features Shown in Footage

    Gameplay footage shows classic arcade racing mechanisms. Players drive die-cast vehicles across the brand’s iconic orange tracks, which are set up onto everyday environments like beaches and urban streets. The vehicle roster seems to have traditional sports cars and some “fun” designs, including a yellow rubber duck.

    Track Hazards and Platform Details

    Some track layouts have massive environmental hazards as well. The Hot Wheels trailer has glimpses of a mechanical shark, dinosaur fossils, and a gorilla obstructing the course. As per past rumors, a Nintendo Switch 2 port is also in development, though the current footage only covers current-generation hardware.

    Launch Timing and Competition

    A late September launch will mean that Infinite Rush is launching into a pretty demanding release window. It will land shortly before Grand Theft Auto 6, and the it will compete for player attention during a very crowded autumn. We’ll see if the game is able to maintain a stable player count against larger studio releases.

    Control Resonant PC Requirements Revealed

    Key Takeaway

    – Control: Resonant releases September 24 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
    – Minimum PC specs: GTX 1070/RX 5600 XT, 16GB RAM, 100GB SSD.
    – Recommended specs: RTX 3070/RX 6700 XT, same RAM requirement.
    – 4K with ray tracing will need a much stronger setup.
    – More performance details to come; pre-orders are live now.


    Game Release Date and Studio Background

    After its debut at The Game Awards last year, Control: Resonant has got a release date, and like several other titles announced at yesterday’s State of Play, it’s coming out in September. Remedy Entertainment is the studio behind the game, and they have now shared the PC requirements.

    Minimum and Recommended Hardware

    The requirements seem quite modest, asking for a minimum of a GTX 1070 or Radeon RX 5600 XT. While the resolution and performance targets are not included in this reveal, more detailed information will be shared ahead of launch. At minimum, Control: Resonant needs 16 GB of RAM and 100 GB SSD storage space, which, in comparison to the original Control, is double the RAM and more than double the storage.

    • Minimum GPU: GTX 1070 or Radeon RX 5600 XT
    • Minimum RAM: 16 GB
    • Minimum Storage: 100 GB SSD
    • Recommended GPU: RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 6700 XT
    • Recommended CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent

    Visual Immersion and Performance

    For a more visually immersive experience, Remedy recommends an RTX 3070 or a Radeon RX 6700 XT. The RAM requirement doesn’t change. For the CPU, a Ryzen 7 3700X or an Intel equivalent will suffice. Overall, that’s not a lot of raw horsepower being demanded, which is great.

    Of course, running the game at 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution with ray-tracing and maxed out settings would require a beefier setup. As commenters have pointed out, the performance targets are unclear, so these requirements only paint a partial picture of optimizations and graphical technologies. We should get more information on that front in the coming months.

    Launch Date and Pre-orders

    Control: Resonant is slated for a September 24 launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. Pre-orders are already live.
