The Crew 2 is now playable offline

The Crew 2 was up to date immediately to incorporate Hybrid Mode, including an offline mode to the driving recreation. On-line and offline modes are separate saves, so if you happen to snag a candy journey whereas enjoying offline, it will not be accessible the subsequent time you be part of a web based session. Gamers could have the choice to re-export their on-line save to the offline one, however it should overwrite and erase all offline-only progress. Multiplayer content material, user-generated content material, LIVE Summits and Crew Credit purchases won’t be accessible within the offline mode.

It is a bare-bones possibility, however the addition of offline mode is a welcome transfer from Ubisoft. The corporate’s choice to delete The Crew from gamers’ libraries after servers for the net recreation shut down sparked some huge debates about possession and preservation. One of many notable voices rising from that dialog was the Stop Killing Games motion, which is pushing for EU laws to make sure entry to video games even after their devs cease supporting a undertaking.

Having a method to proceed accessing The Crew 2 even when (or extra possible when) the sport loses on-line assist was one thing the developer had promised, so it is good to have Ubisoft comply with by means of. “Whether or not you are trying to protect your development for the long run or just benefit from the freedom of enjoying and not using a connection, Hybrid Mode ensures The Crew 2 stays accessible for years to return,” the corporate stated within the weblog put up.
