The Crew 2

The Crew 2 is an open-world racing game from Ubisoft Ivory Tower. You explore a scaled-down version of the USA and take part in competitions on roads, off-road, on water and in the air. Unlike a classic car racing game, it combines cars and motorcycles with boats and planes in one connected game world.

The Crew 2 was released on June 29, 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Gold Edition gave access from June 26. On Oct 16, 2025, Ubisoft added a hybrid mode that lets the racing game be played without a permanent internet connection. On Steam, some listings show June 28, 2018.

The Crew 2 was developed and released for Windows PC, PS4 and Xbox One. PS4 Pro and Xbox One X support enhanced visuals for the respective console version. Playing on newer consoles does not automatically make it a standalone PS5 or Xbox Series version. On PC, the Ubisoft version requires a Ubisoft account.

Street racing, off-road, freestyle and pro racing make up four motorsport areas. Disciplines include drag racing, drift, motocross, rally raid, powerboat racing and aerobatics. You can switch between events and earn badges, vehicle parts and access to new competitions through races, tricks and exploration tours.

The Season Pass for The Crew 2 adds 25 vehicles to your garage and includes a permanent 20% discount in the in-game shop. Purchased vehicles and rewards already claimed can be transferred to the offline save state when exporting. For this, the relevant content must have been claimed beforehand in online mode.

For The Crew 2, the listed minimum requirements are 8 GB RAM, an Intel Core i5-2400S or AMD FX-6100, and a GeForce GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7870. Recommended are an Intel Core i5-4690K or Ryzen 5 1600 and a GeForce GTX 970 or comparable graphics card. The Ubisoft Store lists 25 GB of storage and Windows 10 or 11.

Vehicles differ by terrain and discipline. Road cars and motorcycles move over asphalt, off-road machines over loose terrain, boats across rivers and lakes, and planes through the air. With the Fast Fav vehicle switch, you can change vehicle types during free exploration without returning to a menu.

The game world condenses well-known US regions into a drivable network of cities, highways, mountains, deserts and rivers. Places such as New York, the Rocky Mountains and the Grand Canyon are part of this map. Between races you can drive freely, take photos, try out vehicles and discover new routes.

Race results and other activities earn you badges and advance you to new fame levels. Higher levels unlock competitions and disciplines. Performance-relevant parts can be earned and fitted to vehicles. Vehicle customisation affects both handling and appearance.

Since Oct 16, 2025, The Crew 2 has offered an offline option. You can export your existing online progress to a local save file. The two save states stay separate: progress made offline does not flow back into the online file. A new export overwrites the existing offline file. Without an internet connection, the game automatically starts in offline mode.

Offline you can explore the game world, race alone and collect vehicles. Online PvP, crews, leaderboards and LIVE Summits remain exclusive to connected mode. Since April 2026, custom vehicle liveries and sticker groups can also be created and saved offline. Selected vehicle and driver stats can now also be carried over in the local save file.

In online mode you can form a crew with up to three friends and explore the USA together or take part in races. There are also competitive online modes and leaderboards. Hybrid mode lets you choose between offline and online play, but it does not link the two save files.

The Crew 2 offers performance parts and visual changes for vehicles across different disciplines. The April expansion for hybrid mode makes custom liveries usable in offline play. Custom liveries already saved online can be transferred to your offline profile. Social features and sharing new content remain online.
