Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition Hits Consoles as Early Reviews Flag Technical Woes and Thin Content

Early reviews highlight quick thrills, widespread technical issues, scant content, with a launch price that feels high.

Overview

  • The 2022 Raw Thrills arcade racer is now available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S in physical and digital editions alongside a launch trailer.
  • The home release closely mirrors the cabinet game, offering six short missions across global set-pieces, eight licensed cars with simple customization, and two-player local split-screen.
  • Critics report frequent glitches including cars clipping into geometry, getting stuck or slowing mid-air, stutter when boosting, and repetitive audio.
  • Reviewers question value at about $29.99 given the small track count and lack of added modes, with several recommending waiting for patches or discounts.
  • Some coverage still finds breezy, nostalgic appeal, praising it as throwaway arcade fun despite rough presentation and limited depth.
