The Crew: Motorfest is out. The latest motor vehicle video game launched on September 14 and it’s bringing a whole new feel to the franchise. The Crew started as an online-only racing game in 2014. Just a year later, The Crew: Wild Run was released. Next up was The Crew: Calling All Units in 2016. The Crew 2 hit networks in June 2018.

Now, The Crew: Motorfest joins the group. It may not have a spot on our list of The Best Car Video Games of All Time just yet, but the entire series is gaining a following. Not only is there a wide variety of vehicles and challenges, but the graphics really are incredible, especially in 4K! Take a look at some of the details that come along with the latest game in The Crew series.

Sequels usually bring updates and this one is no exception. The Crew: Motorfest is set on the island of O’ahu, Hawaii. The previous versions were set in the contiguous United States. You can explore the island on your own or join other players. O’ahu is a great choice because it offers a variety of courses. There are high-speed street races, rain forest explorations, off-roading courses, or the availability to just cruise the beaches.

Motorfest also introduces several playlists, a series of short thematic campaigns. Each one offers different car culture experiences, whether it’s themed events, tailored races, or other challenges. 15 different playlists will be available for launch, including a Made in Japan playlist and a Vintage Garage playlist. There’s also a playlist dedicated to the Porsche 911 legacy. Conquering these unique situations will unlock rewards. There are live events that allow drivers to showcase their skills, too.

Plus, a new feature is the car collection import feature that allows gamers to hold onto every vehicle purchased in The Crew 2. They can then be used in Motorfest. When you start the game for the first time, you’ll be asked if you want to start from scratch or if you want to import all your vehicles and vanities. Once you import, the action can’t be undone, but you can think on it and decide to import later.

Developed by Ubisoft, The Crew: Motorfest is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. There are a few different tiers for the game. First, there’s $70 for the Standard Edition. Then there’s the digital-only $100 for Gold Edition and $120 for Ultimate Edition. The Gold Edition provides a ”Year One Pass,” which gives players instant access to the 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody, the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, and the 2021 BMW M4 Competition Coupe.

Another benefit of the Gold Edition is access to 20 other DLC cars that are released throughout the year.
