Ubisoft quietly delisted the first Crew game today, along with all of its DLC. Per the message on the Steam store page, the game will be completely unplayable after March 31st, 2024.

The game has an offline mode that is disabled on Ubisoft's end; they're choosing to kill it and take it from you instead. I'll spare you the angry, righteous rant brewing in my gut about this. Instead, I'm gonna focus on making sure anyone who wants to play it & its DLC gets to do so.

Grey market links are at your own risk. Those sites suck, but not as bad as not playing the game. Global region unless otherwise denoted. All prices are at time of writing; If you're gonna grab these, grab em fast before they skyrocket a la Driver SF.

A PlayStation 4 Copy of The Crew: Ultimate Edition
^Find a new copy that looks like this if you want all the content.

Obviously, you'll be able to play a disc copy of the game, but the DLC is a little trickier. The Ultimate Edition of The Crew contains a download code for the season pass and both expansions, and unlike most PlayStation DLC codes, it doesn't expire... at least, not until 2099.

With a game this old, finding these DLC codes can be sort of difficult. New copies of the game are available on eBay for as low as $22.

I understand the reluctance to drop $20+ on a game this old that will be shutting down in March, especially if you already own the base game, and used copies are a crapshoot as the code is almost always redeemed.

BUT the good news is that you can look at the inside of used PS4 games and put the code into the PS App, and you can tell (without redeeming the code) if it's been used or not! If it shows you what the code is for on your phone, congrats, it's not been used.

Please don't steal these codes from innocent shop owners. If you find one with an unused code, buy the game.

If it's from Amazon, who sells the game for $21. I condone a little fraud if it's against Amazon.

Grey Market Keys:

I haven't found any for PS4, weirdly. If you see some let me know.

Xbox One/Series

Physical

The Crew ultimate edition for Xbox one

Same as above. Sealed copies of the Ultimate Edition are definitely good. Otherwise, check the used one in the Redeem section of the app or Microsoft's site. You can back out without redeeming if you're looking for a friend or on the fence about purchasing the used copy.

Grey Market Keys

The Crew Ultimate Edition for Xbox One (Argentina) for $12
Same as above, for $8, limited supply, eBay

The above codes are for the Argentinian region, but with a VPN, you can redeem it on your main account without consequence.
