When it comes to arcade racing games, the PS5 is in seriously short supply. Thank the car gods that The Crew 2 continues to get updated, then – with a 60 frames-per-second patch speeding to Sony’s new-gen console on 6th July. French developer Ivory Tower has remained committed to this title for four years now, and it’s still going strong. The new-gen performance patch will come with improved colour grading and weather to make the visuals more vibrant, as well as various handling improvements.
And that’s not all: a new campaign will roll out as part of Season 6: Episode 1, this time centred around Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg. You can check out a small snippet in the trailer embedded above.
Ubisoft regularly does free-to-play weekends for this title, so while there’s no news of one of those just yet, we’re quietly confident it’ll roll one out in the coming weeks. Alternatively, the racer is one of All PS Plus Games if you’re subscribed to the PS Plus Extra tier, so you’ll be able to check it out as part of your membership at no extra charge. Elsewhere, for those of you who already own the game, you can pick up the Saleen SR7 for 1 Crew Credit right now.

Finally a reason to get back on and play. I remember when the first crew had its visual update and made it look even better
Finally an opportunity to play all those updates. I presume it'll be a whole new trophy set?
If only they'd kept adding trophies all the while.
Just seen this on Extra; will definitely download when this patch lands.
It is currently on sale for those interested.
In my opinion this game was terrible
Ubisoft get a lot of flack about their games but to be perfectly honest they are probably the most prolific at supporting their games in terms of ps5 upgrades..for free..i have not played this game but if i can pick it up cheap enough i may be tempted to jump in for a bit of arcadey racing..
@Northern_munkey yes and therefore I love UBI. Playing Division 2 atm and its a blast at 60FPS. Origins too btw. Keep this up.
@ORO_ERICIUS the division 2 update was really nice and i'm playing origins when i get some time to dedicate to it..weathers too good to not be at the golf course after work so my gaming addiction has to take a backseat for the time being 🤪...
@Northern_munkey that all okay I think and much more healthy for your life lol. But beware of lightning strikes on the course . Golf is the most dangerous sports because of that I´ve read some time ago. Winter will come
@ORO_ERICIUS 🤣👍
I love racing games, I have to play this game.
Hopefully Ubi start patching more of their back catalogue for PS5. Series X has become my go to console for Ubi's games as nearly all of the AC series are 60fps on there. All the Far Cry games and the Watch Dogs trilogy too.
Granted MS did the heavy lifting with their FPS boost program but PS5 being arguably the worst place to play almost all of Ubi's games is not a good look.
@Shigurui These are not UBI updates with all these games on Series X, its a MS FFP boost hack which drops the resolution to half, and I feel they don't look great.
I would much rather wait for official 60fps updates for their back catalog, which UBI clearly seems to be working on.
@frankmcma - I know who did what, that's why I said that MS did the heavy lifting and hopefully Ubi start patching themselves. As for the res drop it only affects AC3 remastered an FC5/New Dawn. All Ubi's other games that got FPS boost run at their native res.
Has this game still got terrible input latency issues? Made it unplayable for me , shame because if could have been a really fun arcade racer
@Anke No, it's still the PS4 game, it's just being patched to run at 60fps in backwards compatibility. So same Trophies.
@get2sammyb what a shame. Bit of a wasted opportunity to get people back in there.
Been waiting for this update for a while now. Platted it back on PS4 and I plan to do it again on the ps5. Bring it
I think The Crew 3 will be amazing!
The Crew 2 is one of my favourite arcade racers...it's just so cool to have different types of vehicles and the map blows my mind!
