The Crew

The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game set across a scaled-down United States, offering PvP races, co-op challenges and a persistent shared map you could drive across with other players — but no economy, housing, or other core MMO systems, and no offline mode. Ubisoft permanently shut down its always-online servers and delisted the game entirely on March 31, 2024, making it completely unplayable, which drew significant criticism over game preservation.

Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • The Crew offered a genuinely large, seamless open-world map spanning a scaled-down USA to drive across with other players.
  • It's catalogued here as "Open-world online racing game" — a related but distinct genre from the persistent-world MMOs this site otherwise covers.
  • It's included in this directory because it's commonly searched for by people trying to figure out whether it counts as an MMO — this page exists to give you a straight answer.

Real MMOs to check out

  • This entry is intentionally excluded from MMOFinder's platform, genre, and catalog-wide statistics, since it isn't a persistent-world MMO.
  • Ubisoft permanently shut down all servers and delisted the game on March 31, 2024 — because it required a constant connection with no offline mode, it is now completely unplayable, a widely criticized example of game preservation failure.
  • If you came here specifically to check whether this game is an MMO: it isn't, by the definition this site uses (a persistent, shared, many-player online world) — and it's no longer playable at all.
