Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition Speeds Onto Switch

Racing game aficionados can anticipate a new addition to their collection this year, as GameMill Entertainment has revealed plans to launch Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition across various platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, on October 24, 2025.

This upcoming release echoes the dynamic style of titles like Cruis'n Blast, largely because Raw Thrills, the developer behind the 2022 arcade original, is also involved in this home console adaptation. Cradle Games, recognized for its contributions to ports such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants, is lending its expertise to ensure a seamless transition. The game promises to deliver the adrenaline-fueled excitement of the Fast & Furious arcade experience, featuring intense high-speed action and captivating gameplay that appeals to arcade enthusiasts. Players will have the opportunity to race through iconic locations, command powerful vehicles, and immerse themselves in the ultimate arcade attraction.

Mirroring Cruis'n Blast, which garnered significant praise upon its 2021 Switch release for its highly entertaining arcade-style racing, Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition will similarly include licensed vehicles and an array of action-packed scenarios. The game also supports split-screen multiplayer, allowing friends to compete head-to-head. Players can take the wheel of renowned cars, including the Dodge Charger, Corvette Z06, Shelby GT500 KR, Ford GT, Bronco DR, and Jeep Wrangler, with options for customizing their rides with distinct color schemes. Each track from the original arcade version can be tackled solo or with a companion, offering destructible environments, multiple pathways, and hidden shortcuts that can dramatically alter the course of a race and reward those willing to take risks. Engaging challenges await, such as intercepting a missile in the Swiss Alps or bringing down an aircraft in the bustling heart of Hong Kong. For European consumers, a physical Switch release is planned, though it will contain a download code rather than a cartridge.

This game's arrival underscores the enduring appeal of arcade racing and provides a fresh opportunity for players to engage with the Fast & Furious universe in a new interactive format. It reflects a positive trend in the gaming industry where developers are striving to bring beloved arcade experiences to home consoles, thereby expanding their reach and allowing a wider audience to enjoy the thrill of the race. This development not only enriches the gaming landscape but also fosters a sense of community among players who can share in the excitement of competitive, high-octane fun.
