The value story

The value story

It has been discounted 61 times in the 9 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

More about The Crew™ 2

Steam's global achievement data puts about 11 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 21.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 798 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 27 percent of the 11,726 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, currency); the score docks it lightly for that.

21.6 hours to finish it, 79 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.7 times the campaign.

What players say

It's pretty fun. A LOT of content to grind. Ubisoft added the offline patch that's why I gave it a positive review. If you plan on buying it, get it on sale.

Crew 2 is a good game if you u just want to have some fun anf roam around or complete challenges in open world. I recoomed this gamr but only in sale and one drawback is f ubisoft app which annoys me so much honestly.

Would like Linux support. Even if it's just offline, i don't really care. Would be nice to keep playing the game that i purchased again without having to use Windows.
