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 PlayStation 4, Windows, 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 mostly negative reviews.

The game bridges the story between the films The Fate of the Furious, Hobbs & Shaw and F9.[3][4]

Gameplay

Fast & Furious Crossroads was set across global locations and features main characters from the Fast & Furious film franchise.[5] The game offers a new storyline and action, with loads of cars.[6] In addition to the single-player mode, which focused on the story, a multiplayer mode was also available in the game.[7]

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