The open-world MMO The Crew will receive a major patch this January. Players can look forward to some pretty cool content. Numerous improvements will also be made, especially regarding gameplay and vehicle handling. Here are the patch notes:
New Content:
- Speed Camera Challenge: This new feature will be introduced on January 25 as part of the “Summit” championships. In this challenge, you must prove yourself as skilled drivers and pass through the speed cameras placed along the track at maximum speed. The final result is based on the average speed of all five speed cameras. So put the pedal to the metal!
- Photo Mode: This new function will allow players to take in-game screenshots. It should be possible to use it whenever and wherever while driving outdoors, and it comes with various menus and options. More detailed information will come “very soon”.
- “The Summit” Monthly Reward: During “The Summit,” you can win an exclusive vehicle if you have the necessary skill: the chances of winning depend on your performance in the last week of the month. Participation in the qualification for the month may yield a bonus that increases your chances of winning.
Improvements:
- Monster Truck Gameplay: Several adjustments have been made to the monster trucks to improve gameplay mechanics during the Monster Arena challenges. New tricks and combos are set to increase the fun. The scoring system has also been fine-tuned.
- Crew Time Trial Missions: The crew missions in the qualifications and “Summit” championships can now also be started by two or three players.
- Drift Missions: The scoring system of the drift missions has also been overhauled. If you have what it takes for very long drifts, you will now be rewarded with even more points.
- Improved handling of the following vehicles: Chevrolet Camaro RS 1969, 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8, Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan 1967, RUF 3400K, Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, 2013 Chrysler 300 SRT8.
General Bug Fixes:
- Improved handling when using steering wheels, manual shifting, and clutch.
- In some missions, the respawn position has been revised.
