While oft-forgotten in racing game discourse, Ubisoft’s The Crew series has been trucking along healthily for quite a few years, with the latest entry – Motorfest – recently surpassing 10 million players. It seems the game could see another major boost in sales, with The Crew Motorfest now being officially announced for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Taking to their blog to make the announcement, Ubisoft revealed that “The Crew Motorfest will be available on Nintendo Switch 2 starting on October 8 in both a physical retail edition and digitally via the Nintendo eShop.”

Details on this port remain light for now, with the main bits of news being that the physical edition is merely a Game-Key Card and the fact that an online connection is required to play – even portably.

These issues aside, The Crew Motorfest could be a strong addition to the Switch’s line-up, serving as the de-facto open world festival racer on the system. Hopefully we will get more details on this port (including price, performance and more) closer to its release.

While oft-forgotten in racing game discourse, Ubisoft’s The Crew series has been trucking along healthily for quite a few years, amassing millions of players who enjoy the publisher’s take on an open-world festival-styled racer. Less than 3 years on from its initial launch, Ubisoft’s The Crew Motorfest has reached a major player milestone.

Taking to its socials to make the announcement, the official ‘The Crew’ page revealed that Motorfest had surpassed a new milestone, writing: “10 million players. Thank you to everyone who has made The Crew Motorfest what it is today. Beyond this incredible milestone, it’s great to see more and more of you becoming part of the community month after month.”

It appears as though the game has managed to maintain its momentum over the years, with the company revealing some impressive statistics: “From 1 million monthly active players at launch to a peak of 3 million last May, this journey reflects the ever-growing enthusiasm around the game over the years.”

Concluding on a thankful note, the team wrote: “Your passion for vehicles, competition, exploration, customisation, and all car cultures inspires us every day to keep building new experiences for you. Stay tuned for what comes next. See you at Motorfest!”

As always, it is worth noting that 10 million players does not equate to 10 million copies sold, with the likes of Motorfest being available to play through Ubisoft’s subscription service.

That being said, this milestone is still worth celebrating, and shows that Ubisoft’s continued commitment to offering new and free updates has been paying off. It will be interesting to see what’s next in store for The Crew.
