Overview
- Maverick premiered a full cinematic trailer and cast at Summer Game Fest on Friday, June 5, 2026, and confirmed a spring 2027 release window for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
- Clutch places players in the role of Theo Martial, with his sister Cass central to the plot, and the narrative is written by Jamie Brittain and performed by a high-profile cast led by Tosin Cole and Little Simz.
- The studio says the game pairs sanctioned R1K racing by day with the underground Midnight Collective at night, creating player-versus-player-versus-environment chases, police evasion and emergent sandbox moments.
- Maverick highlights technical aims including a custom Unreal Engine 5 build, a proprietary physics model, ultra‑detailed car modelling showing paint, stitches and tire wear, and deep exterior and interior vehicle personalization.
- Clutch is the debut from Maverick Games, a studio formed by ex-Forza Horizon developers; the team retained funding after a publishing split earlier this year and is continuing development while seeking publishing partners.
