In the aftermath of DriveClub’s well-documented problems, we actually admire Ubisoft for delaying The Crew while it runs one last closed beta. The title had been set to hit the road next month, but following some less than stellar feedback, the company has decided to buckle up for one last round of server stress testing, before parking up in stores on 6th December. Kudos.
The pre-release trial will run from 6th November through 10th November, and will be available to everyone – assuming that you have a PlayStation Plus subscription. Simply follow the instructions through here, or pre-order a copy of the game to gain access. The beta will include two of the title's five main regions – the Midwest and the East Coast – and plenty of challenges for you to participate in.
Is this a test that you simply can’t miss, or will you be waiting for the full release before burning rubber across the United States? Feather the accelerator in the comments section below.

Let's face it, after the Driveclub debacle, they'd be mad not to do something like this. Sounds like they're letting you trial a fair bit of content too, I'm in!
Already submitted my account to them, really hope I can participate in this beta. Got my Alpha code for Evolve today and will be playing it this weekend. Would be nice to play The Crew next weekend as well.
I'm so desperate for a more serious, decent racer that doesn't have bananas and blue shells in that I might sign up for this!
@SteveButler2210 There ain't nothing wrong with DRIVECLUB except missing dynamic weather, photo mode, replays, and the online is still buggered 3 weeks post launch. Other than that it's great!
So are we guaranteed a place on the beta if we signed up?
@Assassinscreed1 No chosen at random as far as I know...
😩 ok thanks
From the gameplay videos it looks too much like GTA on wheel.... I mean, I love GTA, but when I look for a racer I look for a certain feeling with the car.... this looks more "arcadey" and more focused on pimping your ride..... hope some of my friends will gonna make me try it through shareplay....
@BloodyBill agreed! Legit game - but server issues are so amateur at this point in the game - open beta - lesson learned I hope.
I signed up today, hope i can try it.
So I've pre ordered this, so where's my beta code?!
