The discontinuation of The Crew sparked strong reactions and controversy, as from one day to the next, the title was simply unusable given that a permanent connection was required to play it. Yes, even solo. Faced with this impasse, a community of modders decided to bring back this episode with a version called The Crew Revival. Faced with the anger of the players, Ubisoft changed its philosophy and revealed its plans for this beloved game, specifying its return.
Ubisoft will test offline modes for two games
For Ubisoft, the games you buy don't really belong to you, which is why the publisher may not have seen the problem in completely pulling the plug on The Crew, including removing the game from platforms. An event that even pushed some to go to court for compensation. Shortly after this, Ubi also announced the start of offline modes for The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest to avoid any problems. And we know more today.
"Our teams are currently focused on the online service and how the game will work for years to come. But rest assured, The Crew Motorfest will indeed benefit from an offline mode. The Crew 2 will benefit from it first, allowing players to switch between online and offline modes whenever they want when we deploy the version before the end of 2025," said Gregory Corgié, Ubisoft franchise producer.
Before deploying The Crew 2's offline mode, Ubisoft will launch a test for Insider Program members in the coming hours, but only on PC for now. " The first test will be deployed on April 30, 2025. Players selected based on their configuration and their involvement in the community will receive an email to download this test version of The Crew 2. This test version will include a specific save to allow players to give their feedback on a common basis, without impacting their own progress.
