Maverick Games has announced Clutch, a new open-world racing title built by former developers from the Forza Horizon series. The studio aims to deliver a story-driven experience that blends deep car customization with multiplayer action and police chase gameplay.

Maverick Games unveils a new open-world racing title featuring deep car customization and cross-platform play across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
Clutch is set in an expansive sandbox world where players can join an underground driving club. The game features a narrative campaign alongside competitive multiplayer modes, offering a mix of structured missions and open exploration.
The title runs on a custom version of Unreal Engine 5 equipped with a proprietary physics system designed to handle realistic vehicle dynamics. This technical foundation supports the detailed car customization options that allow players to modify vehicles extensively for both visual appeal and performance.
Maverick Games has emphasized that Clutch is more than just a static presentation, focusing on creating a strong connection between the driver and their vehicle through its customization features. Cross-platform play is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 to connect players across different systems.
Clutch is scheduled to launch in spring 2027. Pricing details have not yet been announced and will likely be shared as the spring 2027 launch approaches.
Mike Brown, Creative Director and Founder of Maverick Games, stated that the team assembled a group of car enthusiasts with decades of experience creating genre-defining open-world racing games. The development team's experience with open-world racing games informs the game's approach to customization and gameplay.
