The Crew 2 for PC is an open world racing game in which the player must range freely, exploring and racing, over a perpetual world loosely based on continental North America. Players have their choice of planes, hovercraft, boats, motorcycles and, of course, cars – including monster trucks.
The game is the sequel to the first in the series: The Crew, released in 2014.

The Crew 2 for PC is an open world racing game in which the player must range freely, exploring and racing, over a perpetual world loosely based on continental North America. Players have their choice of planes, hovercraft, boats, motorcycles and, of course, cars – including monster trucks.
The game is the sequel to the first in the series: The Crew, released in 2014.
About the Game
The game’s setting covers only those states that are found on mainland USA, so Alaska and Hawaii are not included this time. Each different vehicle type has different engineering, so the physics engines behave uniquely according to each vehicle’s design: allowing players to make fairly large changes to the end result, simply by changing the vehicle being used.
The goal is to earn followers on social media: this is how a player ‘wins’ in the game. Needless to say, follower counts spike when you actually come first in the races and events like performing stunts and similar activities.
Just Drive – or Fly or Boat
The game is especially good when you can just aimlessly tool around the countryside, exploring the famous landmarks and seeing just how fast you can get your vehicle to go.
One exceptionally cool feature is that you can change your vehicle right in the middle of the action, at the touch of a button. You could be blasting across the Nevada desert and decide you need a change, and within a fraction of a second, be blasting across a lake on a motorboat or soaring into the sky in a small plane.
Ways to Race
There are a total of four different hub-worlds, in which the racing style varies and with a different opponent/ mentor for each style. They are:
Street Racing: Aided by Latrell, if ‘aided’ is the right word for advice like ‘street racing is wrong’ and injunctions to go back to the track, this style of racing adds some spice to your racing mojo. Tear down streets avoiding obstacles and get to your destination before the opposition to win. Some obstacles can be knocked down without harming you – such as lampposts – but walls and other objects are immovable and will cause you to crash out
Pro Racing: Alexis helps out, and just as well as these races must be completed in three different vehicles! From a touring car to a powerboat to an Alpha GP vehicle, make sure you change vehicles at the right point and put your foot down to score a win
Off-Road Racing: Tucker ‘Tuck’ Morgan shows you how to do it in this tense round where you are given a start point and an end point: the route you take can be entirely up to you!
Free-style Racing: Sofia and her dad oversee this round where you start out in a boat, switching to a car halfway through. This is one of the more challenging levels as the vehicles are hard to handle and the course is very precisely marked: going out of bounds can slow you down a lot
All these types of racing can be done solo (which is basically multiplayer but with AI companions), cooperative multiplayer or oppositional multiplayer, depending on the way you prefer to play.
The Crew 2 for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.
