SAN FRANCISCO – March 3, 2022 – Zynga Inc. (Nasdaq: ZNGA), a global leader in interactive entertainment, announced that NaturalMotion, a subsidiary of Zynga Inc., will continue its collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms to bring high-end racing cars from Universal Pictures’ F9, the ninth chapter in the blockbuster Fast & Furious Saga, to the popular mobile drag racing game, CSR Racing 2 (CSR2), through a series of four in-game events.

The event series, which is scheduled to kick off on March 3, 2022, will run until May 30, 2022, and will allow players to experience the thrill of racing through popular movie scenes with high-performance cars from the film – including the Mid-Engine Charger and the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody.

Select event reruns will take place for the duration of the in-game series for players who haven’t previously participated, giving racers the opportunity to earn a spot in the final event for a chance to win a rocket-powered Pontiac Fiero as the iconic prize car.

“We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with Universal Games on content inspired by the Fast & Furious Saga,” said Julian Widdows, Senior Vice President, Racing at NaturalMotion. “The film series has created a massive global fan following and we are excited that our players get to race the movies’ most popular cars on the mobile screen.”

CSR2 is available to download for free on the App Store as well as on Google Play.
