Fast & Furious Crossroads is being removed from sale next month

There was a lot of optimism around Fast & Furious Crossroads leading up to its release, in part due to the fact that the game was developed by Slightly Mad Studios, the company behind Project Cars. Unfortunately, the game didn't turn out great and was critically panned at release. Now, the licensed title is being removed from sale completely. 

Two years on from release, Fast & Furious Crossroads will be removed from sale on all platforms, starting from the 29th of April 2022 at 3AM BST, as confirmed by Bandai Namco on the game's official website.

The note doesn't specifically say why the game is being removed from sale, but it is likely down to an expiring license, either for the Fast & Furious franchise itself, or for music in the game.

Slightly Mad Studios previously released Project Cars 1 & 2, before flirting with the idea of creating a new games console. Shortly after, the studio was acquired by Codemasters, which is now part of EA.

Anyone who purchased Fast & Furious Crossroads will still be able to download and install the game from their digital library on PlayStation, Xbox or PC. Disc copies of the game will also continue to work without issue.

KitGuru Says: Games being pulled from sale due to expiring licensing is unfortunately quite common. Did any of you play this back at launch? Are you thinking about grabbing it before it disappears from sale?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
