WheelMates, the 2-player co-op driving adventure from developer Firevolt, launches today on Steam for PC. Built for two players, the game puts a pair of tiny RC cars at the center of a house filled with puzzles, hidden routes, and the mystery surrounding missing scientist.
After an experiment goes wrong, Professor Everett Bloom sends out a call for help. Through special neuro-headsets, players enter two tiny RC cars and set off through his home laboratory in search of the missing scientist.
At toy-car scale, ordinary rooms take on a completely different shape. The further players venture into the house the more sides of it they discover: from familiar rooms to hidden routes and places that feel far removed from an ordinary home.
Getting around in WheelMates changes as the adventure unfolds. Magnetic wheels and the swing rope take the cars off the floor, helping them reach hard-to-access corners of the house. Car upgrades like the magnetic grabber and paint gun add new ways to work through puzzles together.
Car abilities open up familiar rooms in new ways: paths that were out of reach before, and secrets players may have missed the first time around. A closer look around the house also turns up customization parts, giving players more ways to change the look of their cars.
The WheelMates journey is built around figuring things out together. But there’s also room for some friendly competition: mini-games scattered throughout the house give both players a chance to see who’s actually the better driver.
WheelMates is a 2-player experience with both online co-op and local split-screen. Friend’s Pass is included, allowing two people to play the full adventure together with only one copy of the game.
WheelMates is available now on Steam for PC, with Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch versions planned for 2027.
