The Crew Motorfest is one of the best racing games released in recent years. It was clearly designed as a Forza Horizon 5 clone, but it's much more than that. It has a soul of its own and excels at everything it tries to do. From gameplay to graphics and sound design, The Crew Motorfest is one heck of an arcade racer that everyone should at least try. And until October 20, you still can! Sort of...
Since Ubisoft launched the first iteration of The Crew back in 2014, it has amassed over 40 million players over time, according to the publisher itself. Obviously, there aren't 40 million playing it now, but even if 1 million active players are in-game every day, that's still a massive win for Ubi.
With the worldwide release of Motorfest on September 14, the French publisher announced that this iteration was their biggest one yet, which means The Crew series is definitely here to stay.
It's also pretty safe to assume that the next installment will be a successor to Motorfest in each and every way. However, I think they could get rid of the boats and planes. They're not a lot of fun to race, and 95% of the time, the main focus is on the cars.
Returning to today's matter, let's see how, or if, you can play The Crew Motorfest for free. Running until October 20, anyone on any platform, meaning PC through Ubisoft and Epic Games stores, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, can try it out for five hours. Progress gets saved because it's a timed trial, not a completely separate version of the game in the form of a demo.
This is all fine and dandy, but here comes the catch. If you played the game during the first 5-hour trial from September, you're out of luck this turn. The company clarified that any account that benefited from the first trial can't join.
However, there's a better way to play Motorfest on the cheap if you're ineligible. But there's a small catch here as well. You can't do it from a PlayStation, only from a PC or Xbox.
If you join the $15-a-month Ubisoft+ subscription service, you're not only getting The Crew Motorfest special edition with Year-1-Pass included, but you also have access to every game Ubisoft has ever made and will ever make. Provided you have an active subscription, of course.
Yes, that includes the latest and greatest Assassin's Creed Mirage, which quickly became a darling on my 2023 roster. I wasn't expecting the game to be so charming and great, but it's one of my most fun experiences this year.
Double yes, through Ubi+, you will get to play Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora on December 7, when it releases.
