Overview

• Ubisoft Ivory Tower will launch community testing for The Crew 2’s hybrid offline mode on April 30, 2025, with a full release targeted by the end of the year.
• The hybrid mode allows players to switch between online and offline play, with some multiplayer features adapted or unavailable offline.
• This initiative follows fan outrage and a class-action lawsuit after the original The Crew became unplayable due to server shutdowns in 2024.
• An offline mode for The Crew Motorfest is also in development, but Ubisoft is prioritizing The Crew 2 while continuing live service support for Motorfest.
• The move reflects Ubisoft's commitment to future-proof accessibility and avoid disruptions caused by always-online game requirements.
