In aXwitter post, Ubisoft put out a short video saying that they’re “currently exploring different solutions”, and “can confirm an offline mode”. It’s more than likely this is in response to how they handled both the previous games' shut down. AsPC Gamer notes, the game is also currently on sale for $1, which is objectively a good deal.

Even whenEA turned off the online servers for a tonne of Need For Speed gamesin 2021, they were at least playable offline. Then again, The Crew 2 sells itself more heavily as an online game. Turning off the servers means it’ll likely be a lonely experience even if it’s still playable.

I’ve not played The Crew 2 so I can’t comment. The closest I’ve come to playing a driving game recently is when I logged into Fortnite and the season at the time had you drivingMad Max-style vehicles. Honestly? The best driving game I’ve played as of late was Warzone’s late Armored Royale mode. I stillthink about it often.
