GSY Video PS5 Xbox Series X

The Crew 2 got updated with a new season but Ivory Tower had also promised a current gen upgrade in the presence of two graphics modes. The end result is quite disappointing though as performance mode is limited to 1080p, which shows a lot on a 4K display, even more so as it sometimes looks as if the resolution is even lower. The Resolution mode features a dynamic 4K resolution but the framerate is locked at 30 fps like before. As a result, it does not look much different than when we ran the game on Xbox Series X through backward compatibility. Some changes have been made to the color palette and weather effects, among other things, but it is clearly not a game changer. On a side note, because Driftwood Jr. really loves this game and has been playing it for months now, he wanted to be the one playing when we recorded the following footage. As you can imagine, he was very proud to be allowed to prepare the footage for you guys.

While we were at Ubisoft yesterday, we were also able to approach the September update of The Crew 2, which will be free for all and will include a new category of vehicle, some new events and the long awaited PvP mode. We had a nice chat with Studio manager Ahmed Boukhelifa when we were playing, which might explain why we struggled so much to reach the podium.
Version played: Xbox One X.

We know, there will never be enough videos of The Crew 2 on Gamersyde, but you've seen so far only the PC version. So we took some time to capture one video on each console (Xbox One X and PS4 Pro).

GSY Review PC PS4 Xbox One

After giving our video coverage a bit more variety this week, we thought we had the right to finally tell you what we truly think about The Crew 2 and share some more advanced races with you along the way. As you'll see, though there are things we like about the game, there are still a number of issues we would have liked to see addressed in this sequel. Our verdict is based on the PC version of the game that we've mostly played in the past few days.

Ubisoft and Ivory Tower give the starting signal across land, sea and sky as The Crew 2 is officially available starting today.

For once, we're letting you know that Nvidia just released some new drivers to acommpany the launch of The Crew 2 on PC. It's still impossible to maintain a steady 60 fps framerate in 4K/ultra with a GTX 1080 Ti, but the performance boost over the previous drivers is quite impressive. We haven't had time to experiment much but it must now be possible to reach a smooth framerate without having to sacrifice too much. Here's one very short video we captured on PC to show you what the game looks like in ultra HD.

The Crew 2 is now officially available to all those who purchased the gold edition of the game, but we've been playing since the end of the afternoon on PC, which allowed us to unlock some new races. Here's the third extreme race you can take part in after reaching a certain level of fame. We didn't have much time to practice, so it's not a perfect run by any means, but we enjoyed it anyway. More content to come later, so if there is anything you'd like to see in particular, let us know.
Update 3: We take it off-road in our 2 new videos. All assists were on during the race but we turned them off and lowered the rear tire grip when we switched to freeride.
