About Hutch
Hutch is a mobile game developer and publisher focused on racing, motorsport management and automotive games. Founded in London in 2011, the studio develops free-to-play experiences for iOS and Android, combining car collecting, competitive racing, vehicle customization and strategic management. Its games are designed around touchscreen play and ongoing live operations.
The company's capabilities span game design, engineering, vehicle and environment art, animation, quality assurance, publishing and community management. Its automotive focus includes vehicle physics, tuning systems and licensed car and motorsport properties. Development is supported by shared technology and backend infrastructure, while publishing teams handle performance marketing, player analytics, user acquisition and monetization.
Games and automotive partnerships
Hutch's early releases included Smash Cops, Smash Cops Heat and Smash Bandits, followed by MMX Racing and the MMX Hill Dash series. Its subsequent portfolio includes Top Drives, which combines car collecting with card-based racing strategy, and Rebel Racing, a 3D mobile racing game. These titles reflect the studio's focus on different ways to engage players with cars, from action driving to collection and tactical competition.
The studio also develops games with established automotive and motorsport partners. Its officially licensed Formula 1 management game launched in 2019 as F1 Manager and became F1 Clash in July 2021. A NASCAR partnership announced in October 2023 led to the worldwide release of NASCAR Manager in March 2025. Hutch also worked with Turn 10 Studios on Forza Customs, released in February 2024, and developed the licensed Hot Wheels: Race Off games with Mattel.
Company development
Modern Times Group acquired Hutch in a transaction announced in December 2020 and completed in the first quarter of 2021. Hutch continues to operate as a standalone gaming subsidiary within the group's Midcore District. Its operating model brings together game development, specialist engineering and publishing functions to support both new releases and established live-service games.
