Summary
- The Crew 2 will introduce an offline mode before the end of 2025.
- The upcoming offline mode will be a hybrid way to play the game, adapting certain multiplayer features.
Gregory Corgie, the producer behind The Crew 2, has provided an update about the game’s upcoming offline mode. The Crew 2 from Ubisoft debuted back in 2018 and received a mostly positive reception from gamers. The game was criticized for being an always-online game, but Ubisoft is looking to rectify that with a future update.
The Crew 2 is known for its lineup of iconic street cars, including powerhouses like the Ford Mustang GT and Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. However, the game is just as well known for its always-online nature. Offline mode will allow players to access the game without needing to be hooked up to the internet, protecting it from the drawbacks that come with always-online gaming.
The Crew 2 is Being Review Bombed
Numerous upset players are turning against The Crew 2 and review bombing Ubisoft's online-only multiplayer racing video game.
In a recent video message, The Crew 2 producer Gregory Corgie gave an update about the game's upcoming offline mode. In the video, he confirmed that the mode was progressing smoothly and would fully roll out across all platforms before the end of 2025. Corgie also confirmed that The Crew 2's offline mode will begin testing on April 30, with a select group of fans invited to test the feature on PC. He also mentioned that The Crew: Motorfest will be getting an offline mode, but didn’t provide a timeline, except that it would be coming after The Crew 2.
The Crew 2 Offline Mode Will Arrive Before the End of 2025
Corgie also noted that the offline mode will be a hybrid way to play the game, with some features being maintained while others are set to be adapted, such as certain parts of the multiplayer mode no longer being available offline.
The wave of fallout from the delisting the original game resulted in The Crew 2 being review-bombed. The assault on the game’s rating by fans led to its recent review stats dropping to a “Mostly Negative” rating of 32%.
The company's commitment to fulfilling its promise to give players an offline mode for The Crew 2 is likely a piece of welcome news to gamers.
