Fast & Furious Crossroads to be fastly and furiously delisted April 29

Fast & Furious Crossroads, the Fast & Furious tie-in game from Slightly Mad Studios, is being delisted from digital storefronts on April 29.

According to an update on the game’s website, CrossroadsIt will not be sold on this date. However, digitally-owned players will have access to it and be able download it back in the future. Similarly, DLC and online modes will still remain functional — sales, per the update, are the only thing being halted.

All sales of products will be canceled on:

April 29th 2022, 4am CEST

*Please note that times may vary by region.

You can download the digital version of the game from your library.

All DLCs bought before April 29th, 2022 will be still available for use at any time. The game’s online modes will also remain active.

Of course, as we’ve seen before, halting sales is often just a precursor to an eventual server shutdown, the first phase of what publishers refer to with euphemisms like “end of life.” Considering the fact that the game launched in August 2020 — which would have coincided with one of the much-delayed F9: The Fast Saga’s many planned release windows — this would mean a very short life for the game, vanishing after less than two years.

Although it is set in the Fast and Furious world and features many of its characters, Crossroads failed to connect with audiences thanks to rote gameplay that didn’t let players enjoy said cars. They were tasked with driving straight from one location to the next, without any interruptions.

Perhaps living your entire life quarter-mile at a stretch is not the best way to go.
