Ubisoft Is Shutting Down Open-World Racing Game The Crew In March 2024

It’s the final lap for The Crew as Ubisoft announces its plans to shut down the open-world multiplayer racing game in a little over three months. The game has now been delisted from all digital storefronts across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and will be officially shutting down on March 31, 2024.

“We understand this may be disappointing for players still enjoying the game, but it has become a necessity due to server infrastructure and licensing constraints,” Ubisoft explained.

The team continues to recount the game’s development journey, from its humble beginnings as the brainchild of three friends in 2007 to its launch in December 2014. It’s a sad day for The Crew fans, but the game will continue to live on in its sequels, especially since The Crew Motorfest, a.k.a. just launched last September.

“Decommissioning a game, and especially our first one, is not something we take lightly,” the developers said. “Our goal remains to provide the best action driving gameplay experience for players and to deliver on it, we are continuing to provide new content and for The Crew 2 and the recently launched The Crew Motorfest.”
