That said, the public had largely migrated to the worthy successor The Crew 2 since then. The unofficial SteamDB site indicates that the number of online players peaked at 40 drivers in recent months. We can therefore understand that Guillemot is looking to make some savings on servers. Ubisoft has already delisted The Crew commercial platforms, indicating that this gesture was “necessary“partly because of”licensing constraints“, certainly referring to the soundtrack that brings together Lykke Li, The Toxic Avengers, the Arctic Monkeys and Yasiin Bey from the time when he was still called Mos Def.

Ubisoft mentions that this surprise delisting will not impact the tracking of The Crew 2nor The Crew Motorfest, which is also beginning its second season. Ubisoftian Hawaii welcomes the American rally team Hoonigan in a new playlist dedicated to Gymkhana, this famous acrobatic rodeo for big cars. The brand also puts its logo on the new dream cars of the season, including the Audi Quattro, the Ford Mustang, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX and even a Chevrolet 3100 tampered with down to the windshield wipers.
The Crew is no longer purchasable on online platforms. You can still play until March 31 if you already own the title.
