Update: We've now got an exact date for this 60fps update, which arrives on July 6th, 2022!
Original story: It's been almost four years since Ubisoft launched The Crew 2, its massive open world racing game. Developer Ivory Tower has continued to support the game since, and that will continue into Year 5. In a somewhat surprising move though, those Year 5 updates will include proper next-gen support.
The developer says it's hard at work getting the game running at 60fps on Xbox Series X|S, and that work has just entered the testing phase. In terms of a timeline, Ivory Tower is hoping next-gen support comes by July 2022, when Year 5 support begins.
This is all detailed in a recent announcement video, where other aspects of the game's Year 5 support are discussed. The developer is also making changes to the game's core handling model, aiming for a more fun and consistent experience across the board.
These are some top community requested features, and it's good to see Ivory Tower and Ubisoft continue to support the game with fundamental changes well after launch. We'll certainly be dipping back in to test out these new additions this summer.
Will you be trying out The Crew 2 at 60fps on next-gen? Let us know in the comments.

Wow! I might just give The Crew 2 a shot!
Very good support of an old game.
Nice! Ok game with 30 fps, damn fine with 60 fps
I played this quite a lot when it first launched. Loved being able to switch between car/boat/plane on the fly. Admittedly I haven’t played it in some time, but may have to dive back in when this 60fps patch drops!
Yeah, there’s someone on the Push Square side convinced that it already runs at 60 FPS. It does not. It’s Xbox One X Enhanced graphically but has always been locked, tragically, to 30 FPS. So I’m looking forward to this!
Sadly no 60fps on series S
@Zucaritas The article states that they are bringing it to X and S. Where did you get that idea from?
@JetmanUK before this article was posted I saw the original upload from The Crew 2 Twitter and in every mention of 60fps it says Series X and PS5. Not even a mention of Series S or the most commonly used "Series X|S"
@Zucaritas Each version hasn't been 100% clarified yet, but in the video within this article, the developer refers to it as "Xbox series platforms". So, that should mean series X and S are being worked on.
@Zucaritas Gotcha, lets hope it is for both.
Developers messaging on these updates does need to be much clearer, this is often ambiguous.
@Kezelpaso really hoping it's for both consoles, looks like a fun game and i wanted to try it but 30fps on a racing game is a no go for me
Wow I totally forgot how this game was a thing. Honestly, I thought it was a weak sequel.
@JayJ I'm really curious to see more on the next Test Drive. The Crew just didn't hit the same.
@Kezelpaso Same! TDU(2) was probably my favorite racing game during that 360 gen, so much fun just to drive around in. The Crew couldn't touch it.
@JayJ KT Racing have done good work with the last couple of WRC games, let's hope TDU3 turns out well! The first TDU is one of my all time favourites.
A good moment for being added to game pass, ea play or Xbox live gold?!
@uptownsoul yep, they keep mentioning only Series X. We'll just have to wait 2 more weeks to find out, i wanted to buy the game the game but not without 60fps
Awesome will give a redownload to check it out for a few hours. They do some crappy things here and there but very few support their games long term like Ubisoft!
I've never played this before, might take a look once this update is out
