Here are a few things you’re guaranteed to have seen if you’ve been in an arcade lately: a Minions plushy that’s redeemable for 500 million tokens, a spilled slushie, and, most ubiquitous of all, the Fast and Furious arcade game. The good news for anyone averse to two of three of those sights? They’re bringing that racer to consoles.
Originally developed by Raw Thrills (who also made the Jurassic Park lightgun arcade game) and ported over to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation5, and Xbox Series X|S, Fast and Furious Arcade Edition is...definitely not going to cause iRacing to lose any sleep. Think wildly unrealistic handling physics, constant nitro boosting, and tracks where explosions are as common as tarmac.
If you think we’re exaggerating, have a watch of this announcement trailer, and keep an eye on the ratio of cars pinwheeling through the air to cars driving on roads.

It’s not totally ungrounded vehicular action, though. When it comes to the cars themselves, real models include the Dodge Charger, the Corvette Z06, the Shelby GT500 KR, the Ford GT, and more.

Interestingly, while local split-screen multiplayer is mentioned in the announcement info, there’s no talk of online play. That makes sense in a way—the original arcade version is played in adjacent (worryingly sticky) driving booths, so it’s a faithful recreation of that experience. That said, this being the year 2025, we’d have expected it to take advantage of the information superhighway for its multiplayer offering, too.
There’s some visual customization on the cards, along with bonus challenges between the race events, “like stopping a missile in the Swiss Alps or grounding a plane in Hong Kong.” Fast and Furious doing Fast and Furious things, then.
The game is due for release on October 24th. You’ve got until then to work up the courage to give yourself that buzz cut and practice saying “family” over and over and over again in the mirror.
