From Coast to Coast to the Aloha State: What Transfers from The Crew 2 to Motorfest?
So, you’ve burned rubber across the continental United States in The Crew 2 and now you’re eyeing the sun-drenched streets of O’ahu in The Crew Motorfest. The big question on every seasoned driver’s mind is: What actually carries over from The Crew 2 to Motorfest? The answer is a compelling reason for The Crew 2 veterans to jump into the new installment: a significant portion of your vehicle collection and vanity items can be imported. This means all those hours spent grinding and customizing in the previous game won’t be for naught! The Crew Motorfest allows players with a The Crew 2 save to import the majority of their eligible vehicles and vanities, saving you the effort (and in-game currency) of re-purchasing them. This applies to virtually all cars you’ve purchased in the previous game, and use them in Motorfest without the need to re-buy.
However, it’s not a complete one-to-one transfer. Let’s dive into the details to fully understand what makes the journey and what stays behind in the mainland.
The Grand Transfer: Vehicles and Vanities
The cornerstone of the carry-over system is the ability to import your cars. Most vehicles you’ve acquired in The Crew 2, whether purchased with in-game currency or unlocked through special events, are eligible for transfer to Motorfest. This is a huge boon, providing you with an instant garage full of familiar favorites ready to tackle the new challenges and diverse terrains of O’ahu.
Accompanying your vehicle fleet are vanity items. These cosmetic enhancements, which allow you to personalize your rides with unique tires, underglow, horns, and more, also make the jump to Motorfest. Deck out your imported rides with the style you’ve already cultivated, ensuring you stand out from the crowd right from the start.
Limitations and Considerations
While the vehicle and vanity transfer is generous, it’s not without its limitations. Not every single item from The Crew 2 will be available in Motorfest. Factors such as licensing agreements and the specific vehicle roster in Motorfest can influence eligibility. For instance, certain limited-time event vehicles or those tied to specific promotions might not be transferable.
Moreover, the transfer process isn’t automatic. Players need to actively choose to import their eligible vehicles and vanities within The Crew Motorfest. This is usually done early in the game, after you’ve completed the initial introductory missions and unlocked your first car.
Cross-Progression and Crossplay
Beyond the vehicle and vanity transfer, The Crew Motorfest embraces the modern gaming landscape with cross-progression and crossplay.
- Cross-Progression: This allows you to carry over your progress and content between different platforms. As long as you’re logged in with the same Ubisoft account, your progression in Motorfest will be synchronized across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
- Crossplay: The game also supports crossplay, enabling you to race and interact with players on different platforms. This expands the player base and ensures a vibrant online community.
