The Crew attracted many players and interested users as a racing game. We present the best topics about this as online games, including The Crew shutdown, the status of the game, its availability on PS5, players’ opinions on Reddit about the game and its cancellation by the company, whether it is available on platforms like Xbox and PS4, and whether there is a second part. We also discuss Ubisoft’s response to the game, its release date, and why the company canceled it. Detailed information is available on our website Hub Game Info.
Official confirmations of The Crew release date
The Crew release date was December 2, 2014, according to official sources such as Wikipedia from Ubisoft. There are also versions like The Crew 2, released on June 29, 2019. The company also released The Crew Motorfest on September 14, 2023. It is currently available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Windows, and Xbox Series X|S.
The latest updates from Ubisoft regarding the Crew shutdown lawsuit
In late February 2024, the crew shutdown lawsuit was filed by players in California against Ubisoft due to the shutdown of The Crew’s servers, as it has surpassed California consumer protection laws. Ubisoft’s response to the crew’s shutdown as a class action lawsuit was that it submitted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that there is no known reason for players to purchase what it described as “the game ownership rights of Ubisoft.” It also clarified that purchasing this racing game does not constitute the purchase of a limited license, as stated in the filed lawsuit. The game continued on private servers, which caused dissatisfaction among players.
In my take, the legal action filed by those players in California is their right, but the company should follow the same system used by other companies regarding game’s servers and licensing and not deviate from it.
According to one person’s opinion on Reddit, these issues in The Crew occurred because the PS4 cover of The Crew was updated to include the UK and Australian versions, which publish a notice about shutting down game features within 30 days, leading to Ubisoft’s failure to provide a shutdown notice for the video games. Some players are wondering if this is acceptable under the Consumer Legal Remedies Act
