«Hybrid Mode,» as it’s properly known, lets players choose between online and offline play, or just automatically loads the game into offline mode when no connection is available.
It took more than a year to make it happen, but the promised offline mode for The Crew 2 is finally here. «Hybrid Mode», as it’s officially known, lets players switch between online and offline play at will, ensuring the game will remain accessible even when the remote servers are gone.
A quick catch-up for those who missed the drama that brought us to this point: Ubisoft shut down servers for The Crew in April 2024, rendering the game unplayable and triggering a furious consumer backlash in the process. Ubisoft’s ham-fisted handling of the situation didn’t help smooth the waters, but it did get the message, promising in September of that year to bring offline support to The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest.
