You may remember that Slightly Mad Studios, the developer behind the Project CARS series, released a critically panned Fast and Furious game called Crossroads back in 2020, and it's already getting delisted across all platforms.
A message on the Fast & Furious Crossroads website confirms that "all product sales will end" on April 29th, 2022 at 4am CEST, but if you bought the game digitally prior to that date, it'll still be redownloadable in the future.
The game's DLC will also continue to work, as will as the online servers which surprisingly aren't being turned off.
Unfortunately for Slightly Mad Studios, Crossroads didn't go down well with players or critics, landing on a Metascore of 35 based on 13 reviews for PlayStation 4, with our sister site Push Square stating in their review at the time that it was "lacking in every department possible, from shallow and repetitive gameplay through to abysmal visuals."

Not a big loss game-wise, as it seems like a terrible game. But of course it’s still a little bit sad from a preservation standpoint. They need to come up with some kind of workaround when it comes to digital sales of licensed games.
I don’t think anyone will miss it. 🤔
That was a short lasting licensing agreement...
I had this on my wish list as was curious but was waiting for a big sale 😀
I sort of wanted to play this when it came out, but the awful reviews definitely made me think twice (never pre-order games folks). If it's put on a super cheap sale before it goes maybe I'll get it.
Though I'm sad to see any game go. Even the worst of the worst licensed garbage doesn't deserve to disappear. Game licencing agreements are terrible for game preservation. Out of all the Backwards compatible games so few of those are licensed titles.
I was hoping we'd see the Bond games, or Simpsons games come to back compat, but we never did.
We need more of this really, when you look at the quality of the games on store now compared to previous generations it's pretty shocking whats available to buy on there.
Looking through the online stores these days often reminds me of the sort of stuff you'd see on old flash websites.
I'm glad to see things like indie games getting the support they need, but quality control feels virtually non existent now and there needs to be a line there somewhere.
It's pretty depressing to turn on a £500 console only to be met with an extensive library that's probably more than half junk right now.
