The Crew Motorfest is coming out on September 14 worldwide, and from what I've played in the Betas and preview builds, I had a great time with it. It's fun, fast, plays well, and the graphics look great at Ultra 4K settings. If you're a fan, there are a few editions you should know about, especially when some of them come with amazing cars, like the 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS on day 1 through the Year One Pass.
The Crew Motorfest is coming out on PC through Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store. No mention of Steam, I'm sorry to report.
It's also arriving on the previous and current generations of consoles like the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. It goes without saying that the newer your console is, the higher the resolution and framerates you get. Not to mention a PC with a great GPU like an RTX 3080 and upwards.
I tested it on an Nvidia RTX 4080, an Intel i9-13900K CPU, and 32GB of ram clocked at 5600Mhz. I maxed out everything at a native 4K resolution, and it ran with no issues. However, there is a downside.
Motorfest is capped at 60 fps, so it only used 70%-80% of my GPU. Sadly, I couldn't unlock the framerate to see how far it could push my PC. The upside is that it never dipped below 60.
The presentation from the beginning was an exceptionally well-thought-out spectacle for the player. You start with a Toyota Supra at night, driving like you're in the "Fast & Furious" through a neon Japan.
Then you switch to a Ford Bronco and hit Hawaii's dirt tracks, only to finish the race and get behind the wheel of an F1-like vehicle that makes the sweetest sounds when you floor it. And the handling on it is miles ahead of the Supra.
Motorfest has a roster of almost 600 vehicles, and if you're a Crew 2 player, you can import your cars with no problems for free.
Returning to the Gold and Ultimate versions, they grant you three days Early Access, but more importantly, the Year 1 Pass. The pass gets you 25 additional cars, but not all at once. There will be two new ones introduced each month.
You'll get the 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye and the classic 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS at launch.
The 2023 Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye starts at around $83,000 and comes with a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that can output 797 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque. The Redeye can hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.
The legend goes that Chevrolet only built around 62,000 Chevelle SS models. Among other engine options, the nameplate came with the impressive 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) V8 that could produce 450 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque.
Experts say that in 2023, less than 1,000 of these gorgeous models with the LS6 block are roaming the streets. In real life, I mean, because something tells me that when Motorfest launches on September 14, that number will go way up.
Forza Motorsport is also coming out on Xbox and PC on October 10, 2023, and if you're subscribed to Game Pass, you will get it for free on day 1.
