The Crew 2 Mad

The Crew 2 MAD was a major leap in The Crew 2 game! It arrived for free on November 15th, putting the power in players' hands to shape their own racing universe. Over five years, the game had evolved with fresh events and cars, but The Crew 2 MAD stood out by letting players craft their racing tales.

Through the Race Creator, players could design races and set checkpoints even off-road. There were exciting new skills, a novel hobby unlocking the sleek Audi TT RS Roadster, and a fleet of impressive new cars, spanning classic gems to modern speedsters. Additionally, beloved cars from earlier in the game made a comeback, adding nostalgia to the mix.
