Some might say that a PC equipped with an RTX 2080 Ti andan i9 9900k is not what you'd call a mid-range configuration, but considering how hardware has evolved since their original releases it is clearly the case when aiming for 4K. As a matter of fact, we had to be reasonable and play with a 75% resolution scale (oddly, it's impossible to go below) to maintain a steady framerate. Still, we encountered a few micro-freezes, though we don't know yet if they are due to the game, our rig or the ultra settings we chose.

As promised, here's the second part of our coverage of The Crew Motorfest, this time on Xbox Series X. The following video includes gameplay footage in both graphics mode, but because the Quality mode is too unsteady at the moment, you'll mostly see the Performance mode in action. Enjoy!

The Crew series may not have been perfect but it's always had a special place in our hearts and we're very happy to finally cover The Crew Motorfest, the latest episode that takes us back to Hawaii, 17 years after Test Drive Unlimited. The Playlist system is a great idea that seems to make progression more appealing than in the past, and though the game is clearly taking its inspiration from the Forza Horizon franchise, this gives it something special that makes it a bit unique in its own way. True, as in most car racing games set in open worlds, the different characters can never shut up, but it's nice to hear them give us some anecdotes about cars or motorsport history when competing against the AI. It's not as thorough as Gran Turismo 7 mind you, but it's a nice touch anyway. Choosing the expert handling also makes the driving more fun and interesting from what's we've seen so for now, we're pretty satisfied with what we've seen. Now keep in mind that we've only played the game for a couple of hours so these are just first impressions. Inside, you'll find a gameplay video of the PlayStation 5 version, but since Ubisoft gave us access to all platforms, you can count on us for covering them all this week.

Ubisoft and Ivory Tower released another video of The Crew Motorfest but this time we get to see a lot more gameplay footage. Visually, the difference with the second game is pretty huge, as is the uncanny ressemblance with Forza Horizon.

Today was Ubisoft's turn to reveal what is coming in the upcoming and after a pretty quiet year in 2022 when it came to new releases, we got new trailers, some gameplay footage and release dates. We have gathered all the YouTube videos that came out inside so you can pick and choose what you want to watch.
Update: Image galleries and downloadable trailers added.

Many fans were hoping Hawaii would be added to The Crew 2 but it was never. Ubisoft and Ivory Tower just announced the 2023 release of The Crew Motorfest, which will take us back where it all began in 2006 when TDU shipped on Xbox 360.
