After shutting down The Crew’s servers at the end of March, Ubisoft has reportedly started removing the open-world racer from owners’ libraries and revoking their user license.
Ubisoft delisted The Crew – which would otherwise be celebrating its tenth birthday later this year – from digital storefronts last December, with the publisher announcing it would be permanently shutting the game’s servers down on 31st March 2024. And that didn’t just mean The Crew’s multiplayer elements would no longer be accessible; due to the game’s always-online nature, all single-player content would cease to be available too.
Even so, The Crew fans – some of whom had hoped the game might live on through private servers – were shocked to discover that Ubisoft had seemingly started revoking owners’ licenses earlier this week too, making the game impossible to download and install.
