Fast & Furious Crossroads is a racing and action role-playing video game based on the Fast & Furious film franchise. It was developed by Slightly Mad Studios, a subsidiary studio of the British developer Codemasters, and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game was scheduled to release on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in May 2020,[1][2] but was delayed to August 7 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic following the postponement of F9. Upon release, the game received negative reviews.

Gameplay

Fast & Furious Crossroads is set across global locations and features main characters from the Fast & Furious film franchise.[3] The game offers a new storyline and action, with loads of cars.[4] In addition to the single-player mode, which focuses on the story, a multiplayer mode is also available in the game.[5]

While the majority of Fast & Furious Crossroads is focused on racing, the characters must also defeat enemies and avoid traps by using equipped weapons on their cars.

Development

The game was announced during The Game Awards 2019[6][7] and was set to be launched in May 2020 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One following the release of F9 to theaters.[8] However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced both works to postpone.[9] On May 27, 2020, it was announced that the game would be released on August 7, 2020.[10]
