Fan Project Sets September 15 Launch to Revive The Crew on PC

A fan-built emulator answers Ubisoft's shutdown by bringing back local offline play.

Overview

  • The Crew Unlimited team says its 1.0 launcher is feature-complete and will release on September 15, 2025.
  • The initial version supports only PC builds, with players expected to use existing Steam files and with console support described as a possible future addition.
  • Access will be free and the project will not distribute the game itself, requiring users to provide their own files.
  • Version 1.0 centers on an offline mode that runs a local server on the player's PC, with online functionality planned for later updates.
  • The effort follows Ubisoft’s 2024 shutdown and license revocations that fueled the Stop Killing Games movement and a lawsuit, and the project could still face a legal challenge from the publisher.
