Dom’s Charger Returns — Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition Brings Cruis’n Blast‑Style Mayhem to PS5, Xbox Series X and Switch on Oct. 24

GameMill Entertainment and Universal Products & Experiences have announced Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition, a home version of the 2022 sit-down arcade game originally released by Raw Thrills. The console release brings the arcade racer to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X on Oct. 24, and it keeps the arcade-style racing that the original cabinet is known for.

– What the announcement covers: platforms and release date, the game’s arcade roots, links to the original Raw Thrills release, available cars and gameplay modes, and how it compares to recent Fast & Furious games.

What this release is

The new release is a home console version of the 2022 arcade title. Specifically, it adapts the cabinet game that Raw Thrills released under the name Fast & Furious: Arcade for living-room play. Publisher GameMill Entertainment and Universal Products & Experiences announced the console edition, which arrives this October.

Platforms and date

Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition is scheduled for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X on Oct. 24. The announcement lists those three platforms as launch systems.

Gameplay and style

The game follows the arcade formula: short, fast races, exaggerated physics, and large jumps. It appears to keep the over-the-top tone of the cabinet version rather than moving toward simulation. Players can race against AI in single-player or play local split-screen for two players.

Cars and extras

At least one franchise staple — Dom’s Dodge Charger — is playable. The announced car list also includes the Corvette Z06, Shelby GT500 KR, Ford GT, Bronco DR, and Jeep Wrangler. The title keeps an arcade-style roster aimed at varied, televised-style racing rather than strict realism.

How it fits with past Fast & Furious games

Previously, recent console Fast & Furious releases included Fast & Furious Crossroads and Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Rise of SH1FT3R. Outside of tie-ins with franchises like Forza Horizon, dedicated Fast & Furious titles have been sporadic. This arcade edition is a different approach, focusing on the cabinet-style gameplay that Raw Thrills is known for, including their work on Cruis’n Blast.
