The Crew 2 is now playable offline

The Crew 2, a driving game, has been updated to include an offline mode called Hybrid Mode. This allows players to play the game without an internet connection, with separate saves for online and offline modes. While multiplayer content and user-generated content will not be available in the offline mode, players can re-export their online save to the offline mode, overwriting any offline-only progress. The addition of the offline mode is seen as a welcome move by Ubisoft, as the company's decision to delete The Crew from players' libraries after the game's servers were shut down had sparked debates about ownership and preservation. The Stop Killing Games movement, which is pushing for EU legislation to ensure access to games even after their developers stop supporting a project, has been one of the notable voices in this conversation. The offline mode ensures that The Crew 2 remains accessible for years to come, even if the game's online support is eventually discontinued.
