Last year, Ubisoft sparked backlash after it took its original open-world racing game, The Crew, offline and went as far as removing the game entirely from digital libraries. To avoid making the exact same mistake with The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest, Ubisoft is gearing up to introduce offline modes.
Both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest will be getting an offline play mode to “ensure long-term access to both titles”. Additionally, the developers have committed to releasing more content for both games in the future. Currently, the offline mode for The Crew 2 is set to begin testing this week. Assuming there are no major problems, the offline mode should roll out to all players in a month or so.
The offline mode for The Crew Motorfest is still on the way, but there is no release timeline yet. The game continues to get seasonal updates and still has years of planned content ahead.
KitGuru Says: It sounds like The Crew Motorfest's offline mode is not a priority right now, but that should change once the offline mode for The Crew 2 has rolled out to all.
