Players hoping to get early access to the latest entry in "The Crew" series are able to get early access by purchasing certain editions of the game. The Crew: Motorfest is the latest in the series, sending players to the Hawaiian Island of O'ahu to participate in the titular Motorfest.
In The Crew: Motorfest players will take part in a wide variety of events as part of the titular festival, driving/piloting a variety of land, sea, and air vehicles. The game features over 600 vehicles and allows players of The Crew 2 to import all of their collected vehicles and decals from that game, a rather significant head start in unlocking vehicles and gaining access to various events.
How to Get Early Access
In order to get early access to the game, players will need to purchase either the Gold Edition or Ultimate Edition of the game digitally. It is important to note that physical editions do not come with early access, necessitating a digital purchase if players wish to take advantage of early access.
The Gold Edition comes with the "Year One Pass," instantly giving players immediate access to three cars and monthly drops throughout the first year of the game. The three cars available at launch are: "Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody (2023)", "Chevrolet Chevelle SS (1970), and "BMW M4 Competition Coupe (2021)."
The Ultimate Edition includes the "Year One Pass" and also offers players the "Fitted Ultimate Pack," giving players access to the "Honda Civic Type R 2021 FITTED Edition" and the "Porsche 718 Spyder 2021 FITTED Edition," along with outfits for their driver and access to exclusive underglows and rims.
Here's a quick breakdown of the features in each version that offers early access:
Version | Year One Pass | Fitted Ultimate Pack |
Gold Edition | Yes | No |
Ultimate Edition | Yes | Yes |
Players who purchase the digital versions of either the Gold Edition or Ultimate Edition will have access to the game starting on September 11th, 2023, as opposed to September 14th, 2023. That means three days of early access before purchasers of the Standard Edition or any of the physical editions are able to start playing. This gives players a bit of a head start exploring the map and taking part in events.
The Crew: Motorfest is available 09/14/2023 for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Amazon Luna. Early Access players will be able to play on 09/11/2023.
