Ubisoft Discontinues Support for The Crew

Ubisoft has confirmed that the original The Crew game will be removed from digital stores, with servers scheduled to shut down on March 31, 2024, marking the end of its online presence. Released in December 2014, the game will still be playable until the shutdown. The decision is attributed to impending server infrastructure and licensing constraints. According to Ubisoft Ivory Tower, "The Crew 1 laid the foundation for the franchise, introducing key elements such as a social open-world environment, RPG progression tied to vehicles and player actions, and ensuring activities are available at all times." They expressed pride in the franchise's growth, having attracted over 40 million players last year. Despite this, Ubisoft Ivory Tower will focus on supporting and developing new content for The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest.
