Ubisoft has announced that an offline mode is coming to The Crew 2 before the end of 2025. This decision is based on massive criticism that occurred after the shutdown of the original The Crew, which made it unplayable after the servers were deactivated in April 2024. The near future offline mode of The Crew 2 is intended to guarantee continued access to the game even after the server support is over.
The new offline mode will be a hybrid version that will allow certain muliplayer features to be accessed when offline. Such an approach attempts to maintain the essence of the gameplay of The Crew 2, including the open-world experience and the variety of all kinds of racing disciplines, without any internet connection. Certain online-dependent functions, such as some multiplayer activities and leaderboards, may prevent offline playing of the game.
Ubisoft has not revealed a set release date for the offline mode but confirmed that implementation will be before the end of 2025. This step is in keeping with Ubisoft's more general desire to retain its games and address the community's concerns.
The tendency for The Crew 2 to incorporate an offline mode is a response to the increasing cognisance by game developers towards game preservation and player accessibility. It also brings out the effect of community advocacy since player response was crucial in actualizing this change.
