Ten years after its release, Ubisoft has decided to end support for The Crew by shutting down its servers on March 30. This decision drew heavy criticism as it made the game inaccessible and unplayable.
However, a glimmer of hope still exists with the emergence of a team of modders determined to revive the title under the name ” The Crew Unlimited “. Their goal is to bring life back to the game by allowing players to use a community server to play online and offline.
While no playable version has been released yet, a 15-minute video titled “The Crew – First Roadtrip After The Shutdown” has been released, showing a first look.
Project monitoring is available via Discord, where the team shares development progress and challenges encountered. Although the focus is currently on the PC platform, a console version is not ruled out in the future.
In response to controversial, Ubisoft emphasized that players are not buying the game as such, but a user license that ends when support ends. As the servers were shut down on April 1, 2024, the game was removed from online stores and player libraries.
