Smokoko has announced Max Speed, and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch next month. Expect to see it on August 6, 2026.
Max Speed is a 3D arcade racer. Players will pick a ride from a garage of fantasy sports cars and blast through Hot Wheels-esque curvy tracks packed with obstacles, jumps, and traps.
A ton of additional details can be found in the following overview:
Max Speed is a high-speed arcade racing game for Nintendo Switch where every race is a fight for first place.
Take on AI rivals across winding, hilly tracks where mastering speed is only half the challenge. Use the terrain to your advantage – perform flips, jumps, and aerial tricks to gain nitro boosts and push your car beyond its limits. But be careful: one mistake can cost you the race.
Each track is packed with danger. Dodge obstacles, survive environmental hazards, and watch out for aggressive opponents trying to push you off the road. From prehistoric creatures to deadly track traps, every race is unpredictable and intense.
Choose from 14 unique cars and customize them to match your style. Upgrade your vehicles to improve performance and unlock visual changes that transform your ride. Personalize your car with different colors, wheels, and nitro effects to stand out on the track.
Race across 9 diverse locations and 29 handcrafted tracks, each offering its own challenges and driving conditions. Test your skills in multiple game modes, including Career, Events, Season, Time Trial, and Split-Screen.
Play solo or compete with friends in local multiplayer. With up to 4 players on one console, split-screen mode lets you challenge others and prove who is the fastest racer.
Whether you’re chasing the perfect run in Time Trial or battling for first place in chaotic races, Max Speed delivers fast-paced action, skill-based driving, and non-stop adrenaline.
