Ubisoft subsequently committed to providing offline modes for The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest, which will be playable if (more likely, when) those games also get their servers switched off.
Ubisoft’s shutdown of The Crew has sparked a legal challenge from two fans who have this month filed to begin a class action lawsuit.
Online racer The Crew became unplayable and was removed from owner’s accounts after Ubisoft pulled the plug on its servers back in March.
In the meantime, Eurogamer spoke to a group of The Crew fans taking matters into their own hands by attempting to use mods to bring the game back online using private servers.
