The Crew trailer shows more social features, overuses the word crew

The Crew Intro

Thanks to this trailer, the word crew has lost all meaning to me. It's just an ugly syllable, hanging twisted in the air. The breaking point was the line, "now it's time to take down a rival crew or two, in the crew versus crew PvP." On the plus side, there are some nice driving activities on display.

The Crew comes out on 14 November, and, with its constant "Never Drive Alone" refrain, seems to want to make a case for adding some friends to your Uplay account.

Andy previously went hands-on with the beta. You can read about his road trip across the racer's slimmed down USA right here .

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
