A pretender to the Forza Horizon throne is almost here in The Crew Motorfest, Ubisoft's upcoming open world racer that hits Xbox platforms on September 14th. As you'd expect in 2023, lots of the focus so far has been on the current-gen versions of the game, and yet, Motorfest is still looking surprisingly shiny on Xbox One.
The team behind the game has recently posted some footage of the title running on Xbox One and PS4 consoles, and the visuals seem to hold up quite well. Of course, we're talking fairly low quality Twitter video here, but we're still quite impressed with what we're seeing. Check it out:
You can probably expect the title to run at significantly lower frame rates than its Xbox Series X|S and PS5 counterparts, but from a visual standpoint, The Crew Motorfest looks to be delivering the same colourful open world racing action on last-gen systems.
Truth be told, we've not been completely won over by either of The Crew games released so far, but we have very high hopes for Motorfest this month. Our hands-on time with the game's beta was very fruitful - we came out of that playtime rather impressed by what Ubisoft is building. For more on that, check out our full impressions down below!
Are you planning a trip to Oahu later this month? Let us know what you think to The Crew Motorfest so far.

Ubisoft have well optimised game engines, they got Watch Dogs legion to have a RT mode and a locked 60fps mode on Series S. Same with a locked 60fps mode on Far Cry 6. People might laugh at the copy and paste nature of some of thier games but the engines they use really get the most out of console hardware.
Didn’t play The Crew 2 much but I have to say I liked it and thought it was pretty good. Spent loadsa hours on Forza Horizon 5 and I’m up for playing another racing game and this looks good. Happy it’s on Xbox One also.
@Kaloudz That probably won’t happen unless Xbox brings on another studio entirely to do that… As I don’t see playground games dropping their bread and butter to attempt something new.
@Kaloudz But Forza Horizon is much better than Need for Speed, so they don't need to rival it
@Kaloudz I won't argue with that. Me personally, I don't really need a story in driving games or fighting games, I just love great physics/world design/mechanics.
But for those who like a solid story even in driving games, admittedly the better NFS games do cutscenes and story far better than Forza, which is an absolute cringefest especially FH5
