Spring 2027 is the launch window for Clutch, Maverick Games’ debut title—a cinematic open-world racer coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Mike Brown’s UK studio kept development alive after Amazon Games exited its 2024 publishing deal, retaining the game’s rights and continuing independently.
Clutch centers on two sibling racers split between the fictional R1K pro circuit and the underground Midnight Collective, with Skins co-creator Jamie Brittain writing the story.
Early footage shows a PvPvE structure, day-and-night racing, deep vehicle personalization and action-heavy chases—including a heist sequence and a grappling-line cornering mechanic.
A fuller reveal covering the story, cast and world is scheduled for Summer Game Fest on June 5, positioning Clutch as a fresh challenger in open-world racing.
