The Crew Motorfest Closed Beta is finally live for all platforms, giving players a chance to delve into the latest installment of Ubisoft's open-world arcade racing series ahead of its release. Being built on the back of the phenomenal The Crew 2, Ivory Tower's latest game takes players to the tropical island of O'ahu, with lush green forests and muddy tracks being the new focus.
While the original The Crew and the sequel did dabble into traditional offroading and other contemporary racing formats, most of the racing events in those titles were relegated to the asphalt. However, with The Crew Motorfest, Ubisoft Ivory Tower attempts to shake things up, focusing more on the offroad side of racing than traditional tracks.
The Closed Beta is a great way for players to get accustomed to the new offroad-focused races as well as the plethora of changes with the latest installment of The Crew.
