The Crew 2 MAD Update Released, Adds Race Creator & QoL Improvements, Full Patch Notes

Leave a comment

Ubisoft just released the MAD Update for The Crew 2. This update brings improvements to the Race Creator into the game, so now players can make their own stuff. And that’s not all – it also brings in some quality-of-life fixes and improvements.

Now in case you’re wondering, this latest update is called MAD because it adds 18 new skills. These skills require a great deal of precision, and they are not easy to complete.

The MAD Update fixed a game exploit. Before, players could score a ton of Icon points super quickly by playing a community race that lasted less than a second. The MAD Update resolves that bug/issue. So, no more easy Icon points for you.

It’s also worth noting that this update adds twelve new cars. Among these new vehicles, you can find Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2 7, Audi TT RS Roadster and Audi RS Q8. The Update also fixes an issue that could cause the framerate to drop after placing 230+ checkpoints.

Like always, Ubisoft Connect and Steam will download the MAD Update the next time you launch their clients. Do note that this patch is pretty big (around 35GB in size on PC). You can also find below its full patch notes.
