Ubisoft haspulled the curtain offof the brand-newThe Crew Motorfest— its upcoming open-world action-racer. This third entry in the series takes place on the island of O’ahu, part of the famous Hawaiian archipelago. The in-game world features a wealth of different race activities that will take you all across the tropical landscape. While the game won’t release until later in 2023, Ubisoft Ivory Tower is already prepared to start getting feedback from players. Thus, starting February 1, a closed beta forThe Crew Motorfestwill be underway — and here’s how you may join.

Calling all cars

For this first phase of the closed beta, the developers are seeking out 2,000 players. Much like past Ubisoft betas, this initial version of the game is not only be closed to the general public, but also will require each accepted player to sign an NDA. This means that all commentary about gameplay will be reserved for Ubisoft personnel only, and recordings/screenshots will not be permitted to be published online.

This first phase commences on February 1 and will then be followed by three subsequent phases throughout the rest of the year. While this initial batch of 2,000 seems small, Ubisoft will gradually call on more and more players for further testing opportunities.
