Free The Crew PC The Crew is STILL free right now but this is your last chance to get it before the Ubi30 offer finishes!! If you haven’t already nabbed your copy then you really should, even if you have other games at the moment, The Crew is a game that is great for jumping on and passing anything from 15 mins to 15 days (with breaks in-between). A game you can play how you want and tweak how you want and with support continuing even after almost 2 years of release, it is obvious that the game still has something to give. You will either take to it or hate it, but with it being available for nothing right now (except for needing Uplay) it is well worth downloading and seeing how you find it for yourself. There are plenty out there who didn't think it would be for them but, after giving it a whirl, found some enjoyment with it. This is the last day you will be able to download it for zero pennies, so unless your bandwidth is precious or costs a fortune there really is no reason to dive in and see what you think. UPDATE://1 - we asked for the absolute end time for being able to download the game and it turns out it's: Wednesday 12th October at 8:00 am GMT.

The Crew Goes Free Starting yesterday, anyone with a Uplay account could dive on over to the Ubisoft Club website and download the PC version of The Crew for free. Since our post last week about this happening however, it appears a few things have changed or have been clarified. The full game is what is provided and players get to keep it as long as they download before the offer ends on October 11th, 2016. Unfortunately what was interpreted as all the DLC that had been released for the game up to now being included, due to the original video with Community Developer, Soufyane Brahimi specifying that the game would be offered “with all the content we've been adding in the past two years” is now not the case. As this seems to have changed to only be the FREE content, and if this was always the case it would seem kind of redundant to state this. So it is more than likely it was either never intended to be that way or things changed for the actual offer itself, which ends 3 days earlier than originally stipulated too. Though as bothersome as that is, there is still a full game being given away for nothing and the environment size, multitude of activities and time that can be passed just racking up the miles (as long as you develop a feel for the handling that works for you) is certainly worth the zero cost. It costs nothing and it's well worth a try, so be sure to grab your copy before the offer's end date.

Free The Crew Ubisoft have revealed that, as part of their 30th Anniversary celebrations, The Crew will be available to download for FREE from September 14th. The massive and open online racer is the first game from Ivory Tower who is staffed by many of the former team who made the Test Drive Unlimited games as well as those from other great names of racing. Set in a scaled down representation of the United States, the game provides plenty for players to do and see with many challenges to attempt and best as well as side missions to complete. Since release the game has had a number of new vehicles released for it, seen bikes join in the fun and received a huge update that overhauled the visuals and introduced weather. There was also the Wild Run expansion, again delivering a plethora of new vehicles and introducing the 'Summit' competition where players could participate in events and challenges to win even more new machinery. And all of this appears to be included, as stated above by The Crew Community Developer, Soufyane Brahimi. The support doesn’t stop there either, as in November the new ‘Calling All Units’ expansion is due out, bringing with it new vehicles and new play modes where being the cop or running from them is the objective. It's something the community has asked for so it will be interesting to see how well it is handled and if it will turn out to be as good as past games that have done this dynamic well. And once you have the game, it's yours. There is no limited time to enjoy or anything. Now that is pretty damn sweet. To get your copy, head over to ubisoftclub.com/ubi30 (Uplay login) from next Wednesday and be sure to grab it before October 14th!

The Crew Photo Mode AND MORE... An image has been posted on the official Facebook for The Crew giving a glimpse at the post-launch content planned for its future. The most exciting of these for ourselves (and many others we hope!) is shown under the 'NEW TOOLS' heading and that is the 'Photo Mode'. Even before the game was released players have been asking for it due to the setting of the game. Now finally they will be able to take those shots and capture those moments that they have been wanting to do so for so long. And it will not only be the static image fans with their Photo Mode who will have their fun as it appears there will be a 'Video Mode' too. With these two new media-capturing tools there is also the mention of: new vehicles, new tuning specs , extra Summit Rewards and Events and Enhanced FreeDrive Challenges and a hint at even more due to the AND MORE... on the bottom right. ;) It's been only about a month since Wild Run became available bringing with it updated visuals and weather effects, and the community and players are still in multiple frames of mind to how they find it, nevertheless it is good to see the intent to support being posted only a short time after. Let's just hope it is s**ner rather than later.

Jump In And Head For The Summit! The Crew's massive Wild Run update is coming to consoles and PC today! The complete Wild Run expansion will feature a whole load of new content, while the free update still includes new cars and all the fixes and changes to the game itself. Below we'll walk you through the new features and changes to the game. The Summit Each month there will be a competition between you and all the other players of The Crew, competing for access to exclusive cars, rewards and bragging rights on the leaderboard. You begin by entering qualifiers, there will be 2 qualifiers each week, you must complete these to gain access to The Summit. Once you're in, you advance by completing in missions, PVP events, freeride challenges, skills, and stunts. The Cars Also coming with the Wild Run expansion are a number of new vehicles and new specs such as Monster Trucks, Dragsters, Drift Cars and my personal favourite, Motorcycles! All of the new vehicles can be used in free roam and specific missions, as well as the new events in The Summit. New specs can also be applied to certain cars that are not new to the game, so you can still turn your favourite 370Z into a drift car. New cars: BMW X6 M RUF RT35 Subaru BRZ Mercedes SLR McLaren 722 Aston Martin Vanquish Lotus Exige S TVR Sagaris Mazda RX-7 Bikes: Kawaski Ninja H2 Ducati Monster 1200S KTM 450 EXC Indian Scout Ducati Diavel BMW S1000RR KTM 1290 Super Duke Gameplay On top of the new content, Ivory Tower have made a number of changes and updates to the gameplay. The Crew has underwent a massive graphics overhaul that includes a whole new dynamic weather system! Depending on where you are in The Crew's world, it could rain, it could snow, the roads could be soaking wet, or the fog could be so thick you can't see the car in front of you. Overall the graphics update completely changes the in-game atmosphere and brings The Crew up to new release standards. An additional 3 gameplay modes have also been added to freeride. Co-op Stunts, quick challenges that can be triggered whenever you're in freeride such as drifting, driving a certain distance, jumps, etc. On completion of a stunt, the player earns bucks and then another more difficult stunt is generated for them. The more stunts completed in a single streak the more bucks you can earn. FreeDrive Challenge, a competitive feature played within a crew. One player can create the challenge, setting waypoints and a finish line. At the end of the race, crew members earn rewards based on the number of players and what position they finished in. A new matchmaking system is also included in the update, LFP (Looking For Players). LFP is an automatic matchmaking process that groups players who want to play a specific game mode. Vehicle Handling Ivory Tower have also updated the handling and physics of cars, so far only certain cars and specs have received the handling update, see the list below. This handling update promises to improve aerodynamics, steering reactivity, counter steering, grip behaviour, tuning, and increase the distinctions between handling modes (all driving help/sport/hardcore).
