The Crew 2 1.22 Patch Notes (Season 5) – Official

HANDLING IMPROVEMENTS

Context

In March 2020, and with the Inner Drive update, the overall handling of some vehicles was revamped. The goal was to offer extra grip and competitiveness.

Some Vehicle categories were entirely rebalanced: Street Race and Hypercar.

Following this update a new approach to grip and handling was adopted for all future vehicles. At the same time, new Special Editions of previously released vehicles continued to feature the pre-Inner Drive handling model. (With the exception of Street Race and Hypercar categories).

Gameplay Impact

In terms of gameplay and car performance, and according to both our internal data, and player feedback, we have noticed a clear difference between pre and post Inner Drive cars.

This handling discrepancy leads to splitting our car line-up in two different driving styles and feeling, thus making some of them less attractive due to a lower performance.

First Steps

With the release of American Legends Episode 1, we plan on starting to look into one of the affected vehicle category: RallyCross (RX). With the release of Season 5: American Legends, we are going to update the handling of three cars:

• Nissan SKYLINE GT-R (R34)
• Chevrolet CAMARO SS
• Ford FOCUS RS
