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]

Reception[]

Fast & Furious Crossroads received "generally unfavorable" reviews on all platforms according to review aggregator Metacritic.[11][12][13]

IGN gave the game a 4 out of 10, stating that it is "short, shallow, and surprisingly simple, and it's nothing less than a crashing disappointment in virtually every department".[19]
