Ubisoft has announced plans to introduce offline modes to its racing games, The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest. This decision comes after the company faced backlash for its handling of the original The Crew’s shutdown. Earlier this year, the game’s servers were shut down, effectively rendering the game’s single-player content inaccessible to players.
While this offline mode won’t revive the original The Crew, it’s a step in the right direction for Ubisoft. The move acknowledges player concerns about access to their games and takes steps to prevent a similar situation from happening in the future.
This decision has been met with positive responses from the gaming community, including Ross Scott, the founder of Stop Killing Games, an initiative that aims to preserve video games. He expressed hope that this move is a response to consumer agencies investigating the legality of disabling games that were sold as one-time purchases with no expiration date.
Ubisoft has promised more details on the offline mode in the coming months. This move is a welcome change in the gaming industry, where game preservation and access are ongoing concerns.
