As Prime Day 2023 kicks off this week, a bunch of great deals are now available on games. For a racing experience that puts a novel spin on the genre, check out Hot Wheels: Rift Rally, which transforms your home into a racing track. Usually retailing at an MSRP of $130, you can now get the regular edition for just $100, or the excellent $150 collector's edition for just $120.
Similar to Mario Kart Live, Rift Rally bridges digital and physical play by giving you an RC car to pilot in your home. The little car has a camera mounted to it, and using the smartphone app, you can pilot it through a custom circuit that you set up in your space by placing checkpoints around the area. Additionally, you can expand your virtual collection of Hot Wheels cars with up to 140 different models.
For the collector's edition, you'll get everything included in the standard edition--a more premium version of the Chameleon car, checkpoints, and charging cable--as well as an exclusive Hot Wheels diecast McLaren Senna car and bonus in-game content.
