The Crew 2: Gold Edition is now available on Xbox One. The title is an open-world racing game which lets you drive cars, sail boats, and fly small aircraft. The standard version is scheduled to launch this Friday, but if you purchased the top-of-the-line edition for $99.99, then you can access it a few days early.
Updated June 29, 2018: All versions of The Crew 2 are now playable.
According to Ubisoft, The Crew 2 will let you experience the thrill of the American motorsports spirit inside a fully redesigned United States. The game's playground pushes physical boundaries to let driving and open-world fans test their skills in competition and exploration.
From coast to coast, drivers will explore America and compete to become the greatest motorsports champion by collecting a wide range of exotic cars, bikes, boats and planes. Players find challenges among four different motorsports families like street racing, off-road racing, professional racing, and freestyle.
The game supports Xbox One X and, contrary to certain reports, runs at 30 FPS on consoles.
In our review, we said "there's a saying that's probably going to be thrown around a fair bit at The Crew 2: Jack of all trades, master of none. Ubisoft should be rewarded for its ambition, but ultimately ambition has translated into an overly busy experience that's got a little too much going on."
