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 for release on PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in May 2020, 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.

Gameplay

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

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