The Crew Motorfest Lands on Switch 2: Bringing Open-World Racing to Nintendo’s Next Generation
For years, Ubisoft’s sprawling open-world racing experience, The Crew series, has been a staple in the gaming world. With its latest installment, Motorfest, not only captivated players but has also achieved significant success, recently surpassing ten million players across the platform.
Now, this acclaimed racer is set to embark on an exciting new adventure, making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. Ubisoft has officially announced that Motorfest will be available on the next-generation console starting on October 8th, offering players access through both a physical retail edition and the Nintendo eShop.
While the announcement brings high hopes for racing fans, the specifics regarding the port remain somewhat reserved. The primary details unveiled center around the format of the physical release—it will be a Game-Key Card—and a crucial requirement for playing the game: an online connection is necessary to play, even when ported to the Switch 2.
This always-online mandate is a point that many gamers weigh, but it does not diminish the appeal of Motorfest as a potential addition to the Nintendo ecosystem. The game holds the promise of being a standout title, offering an expansive, open-world festival experience perfect for casual and competitive racers alike.
Motorfest could easily become the de-facto open-world festival racer on the Switch 2, bringing the high-octane thrill of Grand Theft Auto-style racing to a platform known for its versatility. It positions itself perfectly as an engaging title that bridges casual fun with deep, immersive gameplay.
As anticipation builds for the release, fans are eagerly awaiting further details regarding the port’s performance, pricing, and other technical specifications. Hopefully, Ubisoft will soon deliver those specifics, allowing players to fully appreciate how Motorfest will perform on the next generation of hardware.
