News: If you want an early glimpse at The Crew 2 be sure to download this open beta and experience part of this new game that is set to launch next week.

The open beta for The Crew 2 has now started and will run through June 24. Developed by Ubisoft Ivory Tower, a studio based in Lyon, France, The Crew 2 will let players experience the thrill of American motorsports inside a fully redesigned USA. The game’s playground pushes physical boundaries to let driving and open world fans test their skills, solo or with friends, in nonstop competition and exploration. From coast to coast, drivers will explore America and compete to become the greatest motorsports champion, by collecting a wide variety of exotic cars, bikes, boats and planes, and dominating the motorsports scene on the land, on the water and in the air. Players will find challenges and inspiration among four different motorsports families: street racing, off-road, pro racing and freestyle, and will be given a broad set of options among a wide selection of vehicle types.

Players who pre-order the game will receive The Crew 2 Legendary Motors Pack, which includes exclusive vehicles such as the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Touring Car 2016 and the Harley-Davidson IRON 883 2017.

Players can start their in-game vehicle collection right now with The Crew Rewards Program. By completing a series of monthly challenges in the first instalment of The Crew, players can unlock up to 19 vehicles in The Crew 2, including exclusive water vehicles.

It was also recently revealed that Ubisoft and Red Bull are partnering up for The Crew 2. Ubisoft and Red Bull first collaborated in 2016 for the launch of SteepT, an open-world action sports game featuring ski, snowboard and a wide range of extreme mountain sports. Now they look to extend that relationship as you race across America.

“On The Crew 2, we have been collaborating with more than 50 prestigious brands, making our world more realistic than ever before,” said Stéphane Jankowski, Producer at Ubisoft Ivory Tower. “With Red Bull Media House, we were able to take the collaboration even further and go beyond video game play to real-life experiences. Face Your Ride is a perfect way for us to further connect our game with the reality of today’s motorsports scene.”

In addition, all The Crew 2 Open Beta players will have the opportunity to compete in one of the game’s four Red Bull Drift Shifters events and drive several official Red Bull vehicles in the game’s massive open-world, including the Formula 1 RB13, a Red Bull buggy and Bryce Menzies pre-runner truck. Players will see more Red Bull content in the game in the months ahead.
