The Crew 2 Introduces Offline Mode: A Game Changer for Its Survival

Ubisoft has finally introduced the long-awaited offline mode for The Crew 2. This update provides players with the option to race both online and offline. The publisher claims this is a response to «player feedback,» though it’s clear that widespread public outcry surrounding the Stop Killing Games campaign, which gathered 1.4 million signatures in support of preserving games, had a significant influence on this decision.

While Ubisoft is hesitant to directly connect the update to the Stop Killing Games initiative, the studio cannot overlook the pressure from the community. Previously, company head Yves Guillemot mentioned that supporting all games «cannot last forever,» but acknowledged that this is a global issue and the studio is actively seeking solutions.

Interestingly, however, not everything is perfect with this update—progress made in offline mode does not synchronize with online saves.

A similar update is in the works for The Crew: Motorfest, and fans have even launched The Crew Unlimited, a custom server that resurrected the original game after its servers were shut down, triggering this entire saga.

Just a reminder that the seven-year-old title The Crew 2 is available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect), Xbox, and PlayStation with full Russian localization. Until October 30th, the game is available on Valve’s platform at a 90% discount.
