Maverick Games has reached that threshold: Focus Entertainment will bring their open-world racing title, Clutch, to PC and consoles in spring 2027. The partnership places a smaller studio inside a larger commercial current, where confidence is measured not in words but in contracts — and where the real test, as ever, remains the work itself.
