After 350,000 signatures in an EU consumer rights campaign, Ubisoft is adding offline modes to The Crew games – but not the now-dead original

Earlier this year, Ubisoft shut down the servers for The Crew, leaving the always-online racing game completely unplayable even to those who’d already bought it. The backlash to this decision has spawned a massive consumer rights campaign that’s now seeking 1 million signatures in the EU, and in the wake of that response, the devs are adding offline modes to newer The Crew games – but not the now-dead original.

“We heard your concerns about access to The Crew games,” Ubisoft says in a message on social media. “Today, we want to express our commitment to the future of The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest. We can confirm an offline mode to ensure long term access to both titles, stay tuned for more news in the next months.”
