The highly-anticipated new racer from Maverick Games
by 
The new racer from Maverick Games known as Clutch has been getting a lot of attention this month, and the developer has followed up on that by sharing 60 minutes of new gameplay as part of a YouTube livestream.
In addition to this, it was confirmed last night that Clutch will be an Xbox Play Anywhere title when it releases in 2027, meaning you’ll get a free native copy on the Xbox PC store if you buy it for Xbox Series X or Series S.
In the “early gameplay presentation” (shown above), we get to see a little bit of everything – a bunch of races and open-world exploration, various cutscenes, and plenty of on-foot moments towards the end of the broadcast.
While a lot of comparisons have naturally been made to Forza Horizon considering how Maverick Games’ CEO (Mike Brown) is an ex-FH creative director, this certainly appears to take inspiration from other racing titles as well, such as the Need for Speed series.
It certainly looks the part right now – let’s hope it can realise its potential when it hits Xbox in the early part of next year.
How are you feeling about Clutch as things stand? Let us know down in the comments section below.
