There are few things more annoying than getting everything ready for a racing session, firing up WheelMates, and watching the game disappear before you even reach the main menu. No race. No garage. No glorious first lap. Just a black screen, a desktop, and sometimes a cryptic Fatal Error that tells you absolutely nothing useful….
There is something wonderfully chaotic about WheelMates. You take tiny RC cars, throw them into an oversized laboratory packed with puzzles and physics interactions, and then add another player to the mix. On paper, it sounds like exactly the kind of co-op game that can turn into a great evening with a friend. Unfortunately, getting…
I’ve played a ridiculous number of co-op games over the years. Some are built around shooting, some around survival, and others throw a bunch of complicated mechanics at you and hope teamwork magically happens. WheelMates feels different. The basic idea sounds almost silly: two players become tiny RC cars and explore the enormous home of…
There is something I really like about WheelMates. It doesn’t look like the kind of game that needs half of your SSD just to install it, yet underneath that cute RC-car concept there is a surprisingly ambitious co-op adventure. You are basically driving tiny remote-controlled cars around a giant scientist’s home, turning kitchens, garages, backyards,…
WheelMates is built around a simple idea that I honestly wish more co-op games would steal: buy one copy, bring a friend, and just play. Firevolt’s upcoming RC-car adventure launches on September 1, 2026, on PC via Steam, throwing two tiny remote-controlled cars into a ridiculously oversized world packed with physics puzzles, platforming challenges, gadgets,…
I’ve played more co-op games than I can reasonably count, from tightly scripted two-player adventures to chaotic physics sandboxes where the real enemy is usually your friend. One thing I’ve learned is that the price of entry can make or break a co-op game. That is why the Friends Pass in WheelMates immediately caught my…
There are some games that immediately make me want to grab a friend, jump into Discord, and start playing before I’ve even finished reading the store page. WheelMates is one of those games. Firevolt’s upcoming physics-based co-op adventure has been sitting on my radar for a while, mostly because the concept is ridiculously easy to…
There are plenty of cooperative games that promise to make you and your friend work together. Most of them eventually throw in a combat system, a timer, a boss fight, or some other excuse to turn cooperation into controlled chaos. WheelMates takes a completely different route. It puts two tiny remote-controlled cars inside a ridiculously…
