The Crew Motorfest PC: What are the system requirements?

Ubisoft is looking to challenge Forza Horizon with The Crew Motorfest, a new open-world racer set in Hawaii. But will your PC run it? Here are The Crew Motorfest PC system requirements.

The Crew Motorfest PC

Motorfest will be available on a variety of platforms including PS5 and Xbox Series X|S and even the last-gen consoles, despite Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, Forza Motorsport, and Need for Speed Unbound skipping PS4 and Xbox One.

But with higher fidelity visuals and potential for community mod support, the PC version will likely offer the best experience.

System requirements

As The Crew Motorfest is set in a huge open world, you’ll need powerful hardware to run it in 1080p and 60fps even on medium settings.

Ubisoft hasn’t revealed the system requirements to play The Crew Motorfest in 4K, but you’ll likely need to reduce the frame rate to 30fps to run the game smoothly at this resolution.

Will The Crew Motorfest be on Steam?

In terms of digital PC platforms, The Crew Motorfest will be exclusive to Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games Store. This means it won't be on Steam.

This is surprising considering The Crew and The Crew 2 are on Steam. You’ll also need to install Ubisoft Connect on your PC to run The Crew Motorfest.

A pre-order page is live on the Ubisoft Store, but pricing information is yet to be confirmed. However, we expect the standard PC edition to retail for around £49.99-£59.99.

There will also likely be a digital deluxe edition with extra cars and premium content that will likely cost £59.99-£69.99.

Release date

The Crew Motorfest doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet. Ubisoft’s open-world racer is set to arrive later in 2023 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC and Amazon Luna.
