Hydro Thunder Hurricane was released as part of the third annual Xbox Live Summer of Arcade along with titles such as Monday Night Combat and Limbo. It was then used as one of two mystery games ScrewAttack's Iron Man of Gaming. Hydro Thunder Hurricane was first unveiled at PAX East on March 26, 2010. The remaining boats on each team try to protect their team's duck while keeping the other team's at bay, with the winning team being first to get their duck across the finish line. In this mode one player on each team pilots a boat in the shape of a rubber duck. In addition one multiplayer-exclusive mode was added, ' Rubber Ducky'. Track times are recorded on leaderboards for players to compete against. Players can also use any combination of splitscreen and Xbox Live players to play online with up to eight players. Up to four players can complete via splitscreen against each other and twelve AI competitors. Hurricane also features a number of multiplayer scenarios. 'Championship' mode is also new to the series, and pits the player in a mixture of tracks and modes. Players must complete the course as quickly as possible while avoiding the barrels. 'Gauntlet' also removes AI competitors, but replaces the rings with explosive barrels littered throughout the water. The objective is to drive through as many rings as possible in the shortest amount of time. 'Ring Master' removes all AI racing competitors and places a sequence of rings throughout a given course. The game also adds three additional single-player game modes in which to compete. Players can choose to race a given mode and track additional times to earn more credits. These credits serve as points which automatically unlock additional gameplay elements, such as boats, skins, new courses and game modes. Some routes can be found by simply driving towards them or smashing through an obstacle, while others require the player to drive over green powerups which lower gates or raise ramps.

Hurricane continues the Thunder series tradition of hidden shortcuts and alternate routes in courses. Once transformed, players can use acquired boost to increase the speed of the boat temporarily, or to jump over obstacles. As with Hydro Thunder, players can collect boost powerups throughout a course which physically transform the boat into a more aggressive-looking form. The primary mode of gameplay involves a sixteen competitor race to the finish line. Gameplay involves players selecting one of nine boats to race through one of eight courses. Hydro Thunder Hurricane is an arcade-style boat racing game, and the sequel to Hydro Thunder. Hydro Thunder Hurricane includes game modes new to the Thunder series, including Ring Master, where the player must navigate through a set of rings on the course as fast as possible.
