About
The Crew is an online-only racing video game series featuring a persistent open-world map representing a scaled-down recreation of the United States. The franchise began with the 2014 release of The Crew, which saw various editions including the Limited Edition and Ultimate Edition. Players engage in cooperative and competitive driving activities across diverse terrains.
Developed by Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections, the franchise was designed to merge traditional racing mechanics with action-role-playing elements. Players customize vehicles across five distinct spec classes—Street, Dirt, Raid, Performance, and Circuit—to suit different terrain types. The initial 2014 launch of The Crew, alongside its Limited Edition, was supported by major expansions. The Crew: Wild Run in 2015 introduced dynamic weather, motorcycles, and monster trucks, while the 2016 expansion The Crew: Calling All Units added police-themed gameplay. These expansions, along with the base game and season pass content, were compiled into The Crew [Ultimate Edition] in late 2016.
The commercial success of the 2014 titles established a long-running franchise for Ubisoft, leading to the development of The Crew 2 in 2018 and The Crew Motorfest in 2023, which expanded the gameplay to include planes and boats. However, the legacy of the original 2014 game became a focal point for video game preservation debates when Ubisoft decommissioned its servers in April 2024, rendering the online-only title permanently unplayable.
