Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 preview

2021’s Hot Wheels Unleashed was a huge surprise for fans of arcade racers and the die-cast toys alike; I had a great time with it when I reviewed it, even if I felt the game could have benefitted from tweaked vehicle handling and more variety overall. Now, two years later, developer Milestone is gearing up for the release of Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged on October 19, and I had an opportunity to check out an early build of the game at Summer Game Fest. While some of my critiques of the first game – like environmental variety – look like they may not be resolved at launch, I enjoyed some of the new mechanics and modes the team is adding this time around.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Circana has released a listing of the top ten best-selling games in the U.S. for the month of May 2023.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was the biggest release of the month, and it’s no surprise that the game managed to top the chart at #1. Nintendo previously announced that over four million copies were sold alone in the Americas in its first three days. This title was also the fastest-selling Switch game and the fastest-selling Nintendo game for any system in that territory.

Also worth noting, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom amiibo led May accessories in unit sales. Breath of the Wild returned to the top 20 monthly chart in May, placing at #13 after finishing April at #28.

Here’s a look at the complete list of best-selling games in the U.S. for May 2023:
