AAA Racing Game from Ubisoft Costing €69.99 Now Just €6.99 on Steam

Ubisoft has temporarily slashed the price of The Crew Motorfest on Steam by 90%. The latest installment in the open-world racing franchise, a leading alternative to Forza Horizon, is now available at a fraction of its original cost. Released on Steam in April 2024 for $69.99, the base game is currently on sale for just $6.99 until Tuesday, March 12. The Deluxe and Ultimate editions, which include extra vehicle content, are also 90% off. The price reduction immediately boosted the game's popularity on Steam. Over the weekend, The Crew Motorfest hit a new peak of 12,355 concurrent players. This represents a massive increase from the typical sub-1,000 daily players the game has seen in recent months, according to SteamDB. Instead of the continental U.S. settings of previous titles, The Crew Motorfest takes place on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The game emphasizes a festival atmosphere, with progression structured through narrative-driven campaigns focused on different aspects of motorsport history. Key elements include: Thematic Playlists: Over 20 campaigns centered on specific automotive subcultures, from classic, GPS-free car rallies to Japanese-inspired street racing. Hawaiian Exploration: An open-world map spanning tropical forests, beaches, volcanic landscapes, and the city of Honolulu.
