The Crew Motorfest is an open-world racing game set on scaled-down versions of the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Maui. The third entry in The Crew series, it is structured around a festival theme with "Playlists" consisting of staged races, side activities, and challenges built around topics like specific car brands or motorsport disciplines. Players can control cars, boats, and planes across the open world, and multiplayer modes include the Grand Race and Demolition Royale. The game originally started development as DLC for The Crew 2 before becoming a standalone title, and draws comparisons to the Forza Horizon series for its festival-based structure.

What is happening now

The Crew: Motorfest is Ubisoft's open-world racing game that launched in September 2023 across multiple platforms. The arcade-focused title emphasizes exploration and vehicle customization within a sprawling, interconnected map. The game continues to expand through new content and platform releases. A Rayman crossover event kicked off in mid-August, introducing a themed RC vehicle rather than Rayman as a playable driver. More significantly, the game is arriving on Nintendo Switch 2, with early screenshots suggesting the port maintains reasonable visual parity with the PC version. Pre-orders for the Switch 2 version are currently available ahead of its release.
