What a coincidence!
Just before the crowd-pleasingForza Horizon 4whisks us away to Britain next week, Ubisoft is holding a free weekend for its all-across-the-USA multiplayer racing game. From now until Sunday, September 30 at 1:00pm Pacific, you canplayThe Crew 2for freevia Uplay. It’s not a terrible idea!
The Crewis definitely not as popular as theHorizonseries around these parts, but I still have a soft spot for it. It’s particularly worth checking out if you have an affection for photo modes. There’s this excellent photo hunt component to the game with challenges like flying upside down under the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas or jumping with a bike while the moon shines behind you like inE.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
A couple of days of unrestricted access toThe Crew 2is enough time to get a feel for its land/sea/air style. Ubisoft recentlyretunedthe pesky AI drivers and added a hovercraft racing discipline.
As for current players, I think most are just trying to patiently wait for December’s PvP update.
