Burn rubber and outdrive your rivals in Heat: Pedal to the Metal, a high-speed racing strategy game where every decision counts. Built around simple and intuitive hand management, players must balance speed, manage engine heat, and outmaneuver opponents to cross the finish line first.

Designed for 2–6 players, Heat is easy to learn while offering strategic depth through careful planning, risk management, and tactical racing. Push your engine for extra speed, hug tight corners with the right upgrades, and compete for the ideal racing line—but overheat your car and you'll lose precious momentum.

Race on modular tracks with changing weather, road conditions, and events, or compete across an entire season using the Championship System, customizing your car before each race. The game also includes a solo mode with the Legends Module, and automated drivers can be added to multiplayer games for even more competition.

Featuring custom car miniatures, modular racetracks, engine and Heat cards, and player boards for tracking speed, damage, and heat, Heat: Pedal to the Metal delivers a thrilling racing experience with plenty of replayability.
