Love it or loathe it, Ubisoft does right by its games. The French publisher almost always offers unprecedented support for its software, and The Crew 2 is no exception. Now nearing its fifth (!!!) anniversary, the open world racer is getting an entire year of additional support, which will span three unique seasons of content, including both free and premium content.
But that’s not all: developer Ivory Tower is finally in the “testing phase” of 60 frames-per-second support on the PlayStation 5. This means, if you’re playing on Sony’s new-gen console via backwards compatibility, you’ll benefit from much more responsive gameplay and performance. The patch is expected to reach the finishing line in July.
Incredibly, the improvements don’t end there. The team is also working on updates to the title’s skybox, to make for more dramatic sunsets and moody weather effects. And, of course, it’ll continue to tune the handling to make the gameplay as strong as it possibly can be. With a real lack of arcade racers on PlayStation these days, at least The Crew 2 exists to somewhat plug the gap.

Lol I must’ve missed something cause that Limp Bizkit reference came out of nowhere
Finally!!! I have been asking for this for a year now!!!!! Really happy, because the game is awesome driving arcade, but the 30fps cap was painful to look at
@Bamila It'll definitely add plenty more life to the title which has received extraordinary support.
Hopefully they will speed up load times! Looking forward to playing it again.
I'm really liking that ubisoft are updating their games to retroactively support 60fps. It's good of them to carry on supporting older games to make them the best experiences possible. Still waiting on Assassins Creed Origins!
@Recover20 meeee tooooo
I couldn't tell if the headline was referencing PS5 because Push Square tends to specifically only mention PlayStation platforms or if this patch was only for PS5. I have a few friends that play this game on Xbox, so I wanted to share the news. It turns out, this game has been 60FPS on Xbox Series without any developer effort. Sony better get it together. All these quality of life advantages Xbox has keep adding up.
Rubberbanding with crappy Ubi physics in its full 60fps glory (although I did enjoy it to some extent). Love the idea, but Horizon does it infinitely better
I tried the demo last year, but with no HDR and 30fps it looks so flat, even with such diverse visuals. Yes I am spoiled from 60fps/HDR/4K. I'll give it a try. I hope they can add HDR as well. The game was pretty fun and seemed well tuned to keep you playing just one more round.
Now BloodBorne please 🙏
Fair play to them, great they're doing this. There's so many PS4 games I'm avoiding on PS5 because of the 30fps lock... Crash bandicoot, shadow of war and the last guardian to name a few.
@TheCollector316 Think your friends might be mistaken. There’s plenty of games that do have the “FPS Boost” to 60 or 120 FPS on Series X but this isn’t one of them. I’m a big racing fan and people on forums for The Crew have been asking for it forever. We didn’t think it would ever even happen at this point.
Anyway, this is a fun arcade racer. It’s no Forza Horizon but would love to be able to play it in 60 FPS.
This game is 30 FPS on Xbox Series X?
Its a nice thing developers are still support and upgrade their games 5 years after. It should be the new normal. All games should get 60 fps upgrades
Ubisoft does some crappy things as a company sometimes, but man they support their games long term better than anyone else b which is great! Doubt this'll get me back to playing this but good to see nonetheless
One of the best racing games ever made imo! The sense of scale and freedom is huge! Driving so many different cars, boats and planes is just a joy...
I will never forget my face when they had that huge USA map!
@Recover20 that and hopefully fixing Syndicate.
@awp69 Incorrect. The Crew 2 has been 4k and 60fps since 2018 when it got the Xbox One X Enhanced treatment.
@TheCollector316 No it's 60fps and has been since 2018 on Xbox.
I wish ubi did this for the first The Division, such a great game that's stuck at 30 fps
@Acurisur No, it definitely has not been. I redownloaded it yesterday to double check. It’s enhanced graphically for One X but the dev has always locked the framerate to 30. There’s even a story on Pure Xbox today about it finally getting 60 FPS support.
