Hot Wheels id (app)

Hot Wheels id was a freemium mobile game developed by Mattel and released on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in July 2019 as a companion app to the Hot Wheels id line.
== Gameplay ==
Hot Wheels id is a simple racing game where cars are scanned into the game using NFC technology and race against each other; the goal of the races is to simply win by going faster than the other driver. Cars have boost which allows them to go faster by tapping on both sides of the screen; drifting allows the cars to build up boost.
Players can buy items using the in-game currency known as id Coins, as well as premium currency known as Redlines. Cars can either be purchased in the form of blueprints (where a number need to be collected to unlock a car) or wholly. Cars purchased in-game via id Coins or Redlines are restricted via class (e.g. D-class cars are restricted to D-class races etc.), while cars scanned into the app are unrestricted and may be used in any race and are assigned their own class, id. id-class cars are significantly faster and feature significantly higher power ratings than their in-game counterparts.
Cars were added into the game to coincide with the release of each physical id wave; additional virtual-only special releases of existing cars are sometimes released to coincide with a major holiday (e.g. Easter, Independence Day, Halloween etc.) and feature appropriate liveries, theming and sometimes a name change. These may only be purchased through the use of the in-game store with Redlines.
With the discontinuation of the Hot Wheels id line, the Hot Wheels id app was delisted on 31 December 2023.
