2Available with Xbox Game Pass, on Xbox one PC switch and PS4
Hotshot Racing is the blisteringly fast, arcade racing game from Curve Digital, Sumo Nottingham, and Lucky Mountain games released this past September. It takes the iconic arcade racing formula of the 90s and updates it for the modern generation. This Game feels like an old school racing game like Ridge racer, Daytona USA and Cruis'in USA. This past week they updated the game with the new Big Boss Bundle! With even more content for all you drift-lovers. The new DLC includes four fun new tracks, a new Grand Prix championship, and a new game mode: Barrel Barrage. It also includes new race suits and car cosmetics. Big Boss Level Grand Prix includes four new high-speed circuits 8 Ball Highway, Cargo Chaos, Frozen Freeway, and Surf City. All game modes, Arcade mode, Cops and Robbers, Drive or explode including the new Barrel Barrage, are available across all tracks introduced in the Boss Level Grand Prix. Barrel Barrage is a new fun way to play hotshots racing taking speed and add explosive barrels to the mix. The barrels launch from the rear of your vehicle, the barrels explode on contact with other racers’ cars, inflicting damage and making each dash for the checkered flag more perilous. Every new level fits into the categories of Coast, Desert, Jungle, Mountain. The music in the addon is once again fantastic and fits the design of the game perfectly.

MEET THE HOTSHOTS
Keiko, Xing, Mike, Alexa, Aston, Toshiro, Marcus and Viktor - eight speed addicts that have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of being the greatest racing driver in the world.
CATCH THE DRIFT
Drifting is crucial in Hotshot Racing. Boost charges as the player drifts so maintaining it for as long as possible is vital to preserving maximum speed throughout a race.
DRIVE OR EXPLODE
In this mode each car has a bomb attached to it. Drop below a certain speed and BOOM! The trigger speed gets faster and faster, forcing players to maintain impossibly high speeds.
COPS AND ROBBERS
Robbers evade the cops. Cops catch the robbers, and in doing so convert them to the police side, leading to an exciting test of skill for the surviving criminals.
A WELL NEEDED BOOST
Earn boost by drifting and slipstreaming opponents and unleash a one-shot hit of speed to leave them in your rear view mirror.
