Zynga is bringing a nostalgic thrill to fans of Custom Street Racer 2 (CSR2) with a special crossover event celebrating the 40th anniversary of the iconic 1985 film, Back to the Future, directed by Robert Zemeckis.
Starting today, players can get behind the wheel of the legendary DeLorean Time Machine from the first film. While it doesn't come with performance boosts or special abilities, it's a fully drivable car that adds an authentic touch to the game. CSR2 is also rolling out a comprehensive Back to the Future-themed experience, featuring a custom in-game UI inspired by the film, a new narrative, and multiple events. Three flash events are dedicated to the Time Machine, along with a community competition.
Zynga has confirmed that additional themed events will be released throughout the year, ensuring this crossover is more than a fleeting update. Currently, CSR2 is hosting quizzes on their social media platforms where participants can win exciting prizes. You can join the fun by checking out these quizzes right here.

While the game won't let you travel to 1955 like in the movie or other time-travel games like Reverse:1999, the CSR2 x Back to the Future collaboration is truly unique. The thrill of driving the legendary gull-winged DeLorean from the first film in-game is an exciting experience on its own.
Sam Cooper, Zynga's Vice President of Games, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, calling the Time Machine one of the most recognizable and beloved picture cars in history. He expressed enthusiasm about giving players the chance to virtually race the car while celebrating the movie's milestone anniversary.
