Amazon Signs Debut Title from Playground Alumni Maverick Games
Amazon has officially announced that they will be publishing the debut title from Maverick Games, a studio founded by Playground Games’ veterans. The upcoming driving game is set to be open world and narrative-led, and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game will also have Jamie Brittain, co-creator of the popular TV show Skins, as the lead writer.
Maverick Games, founded in January 2023, is currently based in Warwick, UK, and is led by COO Harinder Sangha and studio head and creative director Mike Brown. With a team of around 60 people, Maverick Games has caught the attention of Amazon Games’ VP Christoph Hartmann.

This news comes shortly after Amazon Games announced the opening of a new studio in Bucharest, led by former Ubisoft managing director Cristian Pana. Additionally, Amazon has recently secured a deal with Embracer for a new Tomb Raider series. However, it is important to note that the company faced some setbacks last November when they had to lay off 180 employees in their games division.
