The Crew 2 is now playable offline

The Crew 2 was up to date right this moment to incorporate Hybrid Mode, including an offline mode to the driving sport. On-line and offline modes are separate saves, so in case you snag a candy journey whereas taking part in offline, it will not be obtainable the following time you be part of an internet session. Gamers can have the choice to re-export their on-line save to the offline one, however it’ll overwrite and erase all offline-only progress. Multiplayer content material, user-generated content material, LIVE Summits and Crew Credit purchases is not going to be obtainable within the offline mode.

It is a bare-bones choice, however the addition of offline mode is a welcome transfer from Ubisoft. The corporate’s resolution to delete The Crew from gamers’ libraries after servers for the net sport shut down sparked some large 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 venture.

Having a strategy to proceed accessing The Crew 2 even when (or extra probably when) the sport loses on-line assist was one thing the developer had promised, so it is good to have Ubisoft comply with by way of. “Whether or not you are seeking to protect your development for the long run or just benefit from the freedom of taking part in with no connection, Hybrid Mode ensures The Crew 2 stays accessible for years to return,” the corporate mentioned within the weblog publish.
