Amazon continues retreat from games by ending publishing deal for open world racer

"We're in active dialogue with partners who share our long-term ambition for the IP and look forward to sharing more later this year."

Amazon has terminated its publishing agreement with Maverick Games for an upcoming open-world racing game originally announced in 2024. Maverick Games, a studio founded by former Forza developers Mike Brown and Harinder Sangha, will continue developing the untitled racer independently. The studio is actively pursuing alternative publishing partnerships that align with their long-term vision for the intellectual property. This move represents another scaling back of Amazon's gaming initiatives. Maverick Games plans to announce further developments regarding the project later in the year.
