The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest Will Feature Offline Modes for ‘Long Term Access’ 

Ubisoft has confirmed offline modes for The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest “to ensure long-term access” for the community. 

In December 2023, Ubisoft announced that the original The Crew would be taken offline due to “upcoming server infrastructure and licensing constraints”. The news didn’t sit well with the fans, with many expressing disappointment all across social media. Additionally, the community took it upon themselves to revive the game, with a dedicated team working to get it running by the Crew’s 10th anniversary. 

It seems that Ubisoft understands the community’s sentiment and is committed to providing long-term access to both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest. According to the new video on X, the developers are “currently exploring different solutions and can confirm an offline mode” for The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest. More details about the offline mode will be revealed in the coming months. 

The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest are online-only racing games, the former released in 2018 and the latter in 2023. The decision to introduce an offline mode for these games has gone well with the fans, with many praising Ubisoft’s decision. However, some still wonder whether an offline mode is possible for the original game

In other news, Ubisoft was recently pressurised to go private as share prices continue to fall. Also, Ubisoft has stripped Vulcan API from Rainbow Six Siege. What are your thoughts on The Crew 2 and Motorfest receiving offline modes? Let us know in the comments.

As a gamer for very long time now IMO this should be mandatory for online-focused games so kudos to Ubisoft for this.

Can't forgive them though for NOT doing this for Ghost Recon Breakpoint 👎

For us many gamers the issue here is game preservation.

So for that matter I honestly hope someday soon there's got to be some sort of legislation about this much like what they do for movies & things of that nature.

That's why personally I stay away from these kind of games, single player but strangely "requires" to be connected to the internet.

Which makes you wonder, why do these companies keep making them when 90% of them aren't that profitable really & doesn't get the acclaim of single player games.

I think it's $1 on all platforms, probably gearing up to delist in the not-too-distant future due to licenses expiring

I'm so happy about this. I've bought both titles now because offline gaming is my preference.

So do I Snow.

I value ownership very dearly & if the discs become paperweight eventually because of DRM online-only nonsense, absolute hard-line NO BUY for me bro.

500 points to Hufflepuff (Ubisoft)! 😂

Offline mode for racing games is cool.

Actually, Ubisoft are doing their best to improve their image.
