Wondering when The Crew Motorfest early access start date is? Now that the full launch of Ubisoft’s engine-revving racing entry is nearly here, you may be wondering whether you can play the game ahead of time, or even done a pre-load for the game.

With The Crew Motorfest release date set for later this week, it’s almost time to experience all that the game has to offer with its sleek stable of cars, colorfully breathtaking tracks, and exciting game modes even without a pre-launch period. But, if you really can’t wait for the general release date, then here’s when the early access window begins.

How do you get early access to The Crew Motorfest?

To get access to The Crew Motorfest early access period, you will need to purchase either the game’s Gold or Ultimate Edition. This will give you the chance to play Ubisoft’s racing entry three days early on your preferred platform, including the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Once you’ve purchased either of the game’s premium versions, you will then need to download it on your system ahead of time so you can access it once the aforementioned start date rolls around. If the promise of an early playthrough isn’t enough for you, both the Gold and Ultimate Editions also come with additional goodies.

If you buy the Gold Edition, you’ll get The Liberty Walk Pack, which contains the Toyota GR Supra Liberty Walk Edition, an exclusive outfit, and an exclusive car underglow and tires. You will also gain access to the Year 1 Pass, giving you the chance to earn additional vehicles. If you feel like splurging on the Ultimate Edition, however, then not only will you get the Gold Edition goodies but you’ll also earn the Ultimate Pack containing the Honda Civic Type R Fitted Edition and the Porsche 718 Spyder Fitted Edition.

Now that The Crew Motorfest early access start date is here, pre ordering it ahead of time so you can play it earlier than usual is still an option. If you’re curious to ask is The Crew Motorfest on Game Pass? we can answer that for you here.
