"As more people play games, even the tiniest niches find a bigger audience" – Why Matt Webster is convinced people want Star Wars: Galactic Racer

"As more people play games, even the tiniest niches find a bigger audience" – Why Matt Webster is convinced people want Star Wars: Galactic Racer The Fuse Games CEO on reinventing racing games, young talent beating veterans, and an overdue move away from the "bullshit" idea of a "single creative visionary" Matt Webster looked set to be a lifer at Electronic Arts. He joined the firm way back in 1990, and spent nearly two decades working at Burnout and Need for Speed maker Criterion, which EA bought in 2004. But in early 2023, along with Criterion alumni Steve Uphill, Pete Lake, Andrei Shires, and Alan McDairmant, he broke away to form the independent UK studio Fuse Games. Galactic Racer is launching on October 6, a generous distance from GTA6's due date of November 19, although not too far after some of the year's biggest releases, like Control Resonant and Silent Hill: Townfall on September 24.
