PlayStation.Blog has announced Stuntman: Hollywood for PS5, a new game built around movie shoots rather than races, with stunt sequences inspired by Fast And Furious and other Universal properties. The pitch is simple and unusual: players step into the role of a stunt performer and try to survive the director’s demands while the cameras keep rolling.
That is why the Fast And Furious name matters here. The series is one of several film and TV franchises folded into a stunt-focused game that also draws from Back to the Future, Knight Rider, Miami Vice and Death Race. For fans looking up the title today, the appeal is not speed for its own sake, but the chance to perform the kind of set-piece chaos those franchises are known for.
The game is built around movie production from the ground up. Each film is split into episodes, and each episode acts as its own level with a different vehicle and its own gameplay twists. Players will take on tasks such as drifting, holding a tight line, crashing through obstacles, dodging incoming fire and riding on two wheels, all under a timer and with only a limited number of takes from the director.
Vehicles range from the Time Machine and KITT to cars, SUVs, motorcycles and even a school bus. The system is scored with stars based on required and free stunts, and tougher director requests can earn extra stars. After a run, the Garage keeps the items, trophies and keepsakes earned across episodes, films and challenges, giving the game a loop that rewards precision as much as spectacle.
That is also where the friction sits. Stuntman: Hollywood is being presented as a filmmaking game, not a racing game, even though it borrows the speed and control of an arcade racer and the carnage of destruction-heavy titles like Burnout and Split/Second. The result is a Fast And Furious tie-in in spirit more than in format: the cars are there, but the point is to hit marks, nail stunts and make the scene work.
PlayStation’s announcement does not include a release date, so the immediate news is the game itself and the franchise list attached to it. For now, Stuntman: Hollywood is headed to PS5 as a series of stunt episodes, and Fast And Furious is one of the marquee names helping sell the idea.
