Maverick Games, the studio helmed by Forza Horizon 5 creative director Mike Brown, have revealed the story-led open-world driving game they've had in the works for a few years now and that's no longer being published by Amazon.

And with that the Summer Game Fest is over. At least, the official Geoff Keighley showcase - there are still many more streams over the weekend. I wouldn't say there were many surprises, but it was excellent to get a first look at games like Alien Isolation 2, Fumito Ueda's genAtlas, and Guild Wars 3.

If you don't want to watch through the full two hours. Below you will find every everything announced for PC at Summer Game Fest 2026.

If there's one obvious criticism you can levy at Forza Horizon 6, aside from who bankrolled it, it's that Playground Games' latest racer's very much an iterative sequel. There's plenty to it you'll have seen and done before if you've played previous entries. Clutch, the debut racer ex-Forza director-headed studio Maverick Games recently revealed, certainly isn't content just to follow a single established path. Having just watched devs Maverick's first lengthy livestream of it in action, it's trying to spin even more plates inspired by different moulds of driving game than I initially thought. Though, whether it nails all of those elements remains to be seen.
