To abort or retry a race, you need to access the in-game Tool Menu. Usually, you can do this by pressing a specific button on your controller (refer to your in-game control settings for the exact button). Once in the Tool Menu, look for the “Abort” or “Retry” option.
3. Can I start over in The Crew 2 on PS4?
Unfortunately, no, you cannot completely reset your progress in The Crew 2. The game’s progress is saved on Ubisoft’s servers, and there is no option to delete or reset those save files. However, you can replay any mission you’ve already encountered in the game.
4. How do I access the main menu in The Crew 2?
The method to access the main menu can vary based on your control scheme. On a PlayStation controller, pressing the Triangle button typically brings up the menu. On a keyboard, the default key is often “B” or “F10“. Check your in-game key bindings in the Settings menu for confirmation.

6. Is it okay to leave The Crew 2 paused on my PS4 for a long time?
While pausing The Crew 2 won’t inherently harm your PS4, prolonged pauses might not be ideal, especially if you are playing online. While in Party and Versus modes you can pause the game at any time. However, when you Play Online or Play on Twitch, the pause menu will open, but the game will continue in the background. Long pauses can lead to disconnections from the server.

You can adjust the game’s difficulty in the Settings menu, usually found in the Options section. Increasing the difficulty to Hard mode grants you more loot and a greater challenge.
9. Can I sell cars in The Crew 2 on PS4?
Unfortunately, you cannot sell cars in The Crew 2. Once you acquire a vehicle, it remains permanently in your garage. The good news is that your garage space is unlimited, so you don’t have to worry about running out of room.
10. Does The Crew 2 have manual transmission control?
Yes, The Crew 2 provides a choice between automatic and manual transmission styles. However, It is important to note that “‘Automatic’ doesn’t allow for manual gear control and ‘Sequential’ is completely manual”. The game doesn’t currently offer a paddle-style option. You can change transmission settings in the in-game settings.
11. How many levels are there in The Crew 2?
The Crew 2 has five different levels you can progress through.
12. Are there any known issues with exiting The Crew 2?
Sometimes, force closing applications on the PS4 can lead to minor file corruption or glitches, though it’s rare. Always try to use the official “Close Application” option whenever possible. Also, exiting during online events can affect your progress.

15. Is The Crew 2 a fun game to play solo?
While The Crew 2 encourages both solo and multiplayer gameplay, it does lean heavily into the solo experience. There are hundreds of solo events, challenges, and races to keep you engaged. The game makes one wonder how one would ever actually form a crew – and yet is an always-on, network-dependent game that logs you out if you disconnect. So, it’s definitely possible to have a good time playing alone, and it may be better for you to learn all of the controls, intricacies, and nuances of the game before teaming up with others.
The Takeaway: Exiting with Confidence
Mastering the art of quitting a game might seem trivial, but understanding the process ensures you don’t lose valuable progress and have a smooth gaming experience.
