SAN FRANCISCO — September 26, 2018 — Today, Ubisoft® announced that Gator Rush, the first free update brought to Ubisoft’s open world motorsports game, The Crew® 2, is now available on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Windows PC.
Ubisoft also announced that gamers can play The Crew 2, including Gator Rush, for free from September 27 – 30 on Uplay PC. As part of the free weekend, players can purchase The Crew 2 with discounts up to 45 percent starting today on all versions of Uplay PC and the PlayStation 4 system.

Starting today, season pass owners get early access to two new additional vehicles – the Ariel Nomad 2015 and XK Armored 2018 – as part of the game’s monthly vehicle drop. All other players will have access to these vehicles starting October 3rd.
Introduced in the heart of the southern swamps, the all-new hovercraft discipline in the off-road family will have players doing things no other vehicles can do in The Crew 2. With three hovercraft vehicles completely new to the line-up, racers can slide on all kinds of terrain, bump their opponents on a tight corner and land on their competitors after jumping a ramp. In addition to the Bayou, other iconic places across the US map, such as Lake Michigan and Glacier Park, have been redesigned with enhancements such as steep slopes and banked curves. Players can enjoy these enhancements in all-new events, a Live Xtrem Series race and free drive, with new skills available in the open world bringing new ways to explore the United States map.
For players who thrive under pressure, The Crew 2 Gator Rush will also include Ace mode, a new difficulty level. Players successful in Ace mode will earn Legendary loot, parts that award better performances, exclusive affix bonuses and new combinations to customize each ride’s performance according to their handling preference.
The release of Gator Rush is the first step in the The Crew 2 post-launch development schedule, and the team is committed to continue introducing ample new content through regular updates in the months ahead, including PvP coming in December, new disciplines, events, vehicles and more.

Developed by Ubisoft Ivory Tower,* a studio based in Lyon, France, The Crew 2 lets players experience the thrill of the American motorsports spirit inside a fully redesigned USA. The game’s playground pushes physical boundaries to let driving and open world fans test their skills in nonstop competition and exploration. From coast to coast, drivers can explore America and compete to become the greatest motorsports champion by collecting a wide variety of exotic cars, bikes, boats and planes, and dominating the motorsports scene on the land, on the water and in the air. They can find challenges and inspiration among four different motorsports families: street racing, off-road, pro-racing and freestyle, and will be given a broad set of options among a wide selection of vehicle types.
