E3 2018: Open Beta For Ubisoft's The Crew 2 Coming Very Soon

An open beta for Ubisoft's racing game sequel The Crew 2 will begin on June 21, the publisher announced during its E3 2018 briefing. The beta will be held across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. While you have to wait a little while longer to play the beta, you can pre-load starting today.

The open beta will be available from 1 AM PT on June 25 through the same time on June 25. It will include the game's "full open world," and it allows players to get through the first two levels. You can play with up to three friends (on the same platform) for co-op; you can also play solo.

A new trailer for The Crew 2 was also released during Ubisoft's E3 briefing. It showed off yet another look at the racing game's four main disciplines: street race, rally raid, powerboat, and aerobatics.

The open beta follows a closed beta that started at the end of May and wrapped up in early June.

The Crew 2 launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on June 29. Along with the standard version, Ubisoft is releasing a special edition of The Crew 2 dubbed the Motor Edition. This includes the season pass and extra in-game content like outfits and vehicles. The premium edition unlocks three days early, on June 26, so that's another perk to picking it up.
