Overview
- Maverick Games and Focus Entertainment announced Monday that Focus will publish CLUTCH for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC, with a planned spring 2027 release on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
- CLUTCH is a cinematic open-world racer set on the French Riviera that follows sibling drivers Theo and Cass Martial as they move between the elite R1K circuit and the underground Midnight Collective.
- The game emphasizes high-stakes race-and-chase gameplay, dynamic social sandbox events, daring escapes and experimental 'ClutchTech' vehicle mods that let players personalise cars and alter pursuits.
- Maverick originally had a publishing arrangement with Amazon that was dropped in February 2026, and the Focus deal restores outside publishing support that will fund marketing and distribution plans.
- Focus’s backing gives Maverick resources to aim for a spring 2027 launch, but the studio and publisher note the window is a target and could change as development continues.
