Ubisoft has delisted its online-only racing game The Crew as it winds down post-launch support for the title, with servers confirmed to shut down early 2024.
Heading to The Crew’s official Steam page, the game is no longer available for purchase on Valve’s digital storefront. Yet the Steam version is not the only one delisted, as the digital versions on Xbox and PlayStation are also unavailable, in addition to the store page on the Ubisoft store. However, the Xbox version mentions the game is still available on the subscription service Ubisoft+.
In addition to The Crew being removed from purchase on all digital platforms, Ubisoft revealed on the Steam page that the servers will remain online until March 31, 2024. After that, “the game will not be accessible anymore.”
IGN’s Twenty Questions – Guess the game!
Released in 2014, The Crew was co-developed by Ivory Towers and Ubisoft Reflections. When it was announced in 2013, The Crew stood out as a game that fused the arcade action from racing games like Need for Speed with MMO and RPG-sprinkled elements inside a massive open world.
The Crew has spawned into a franchise that includes two additional games: The Crew 2, released in 2018, and The Crew Motorfest, released this past September on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
In IGN’s review of The Crew, we said: “The Crew is truly massive and packed with racing but it’s let down by its dated appearance and frustrating AI.”
