Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition Hits Consoles as Reviews Flag Sparse Content, Technical Woes

Early reviews describe a faithful arcade port with scant content, notable technical issues, a price that feels high.

Overview

  • The 2022 arcade racer is now out on PS5, Xbox Series consoles and Nintendo Switch, with physical and digital editions available alongside a launch trailer.
  • The console version closely mirrors the cabinet release, offering six short missions across global locations and eight licensed cars, plus local split-screen.
  • Critics report pervasive problems such as clipping, vehicles getting stuck, stutter during boosts, low and inconsistent framerates, dated visuals, and repetitive audio.
  • Reviewers say ties to the film series are minimal, noting the absence of recognizable elements such as Dominic Toretto’s signature Dodge Charger.
  • At a $29.99 launch price, several outlets question the value and advise waiting for patches or discounts, though some praise its breezy, old-school arcade thrills.
