The Crew krijgt donderdag een patch

Aanstaande donderdag, 12 februari, krijgt The Crew een patch. De patch moet een aantal problemen in de game oplossen, maar daarnaast zal deze update ook enkele faction missies, een nieuwe PvP-mode en tien nieuwe tracks toevoegen.

"De patch zal de framerate in de cockpitview sterk verbeteren", aldus Ubisoft. Deze update lag al op de plank, dus dat deze opties worden toegevoegd is geen verrassing. Het staat los van de Season Pass-content die binnenkort verschijnt.

Een overzicht met alle verbeteringen en toevoegingen staan hieronder:

The new PvP mode is an elimination race with 10 new tracks available.
