While GT7 was released in March 2022, a film adaptation of the franchise has only just hit theaters. But behind these behemoths, other sagas are trying to make their mark. In a few weeks, The Crew Motorfest will try to overshadow its illustrious competitors and to seduce players, Ubisoft is offering to play it for free on the sidelines of the release.
