FULL STORY
======================================================================

Ubisofts 2014 online-only racing game, The Crew , is currently unavailable to 
buy from Steam, and according to its store page , its servers will soon be 
shut down for good, too, rendering it unplayable. 

This news was first highlighted by Twitter / X account @Wario64 , who shared 
that visiting the games store page now brings up two notices. The first is 
simple, and reads:  The Crew is no longer available on the Steam store. That 
tracks, given that the big, green add to cart button is no longer there, 
although theres seemingly still the option to download the free demo. The 
Crew has delisted and will remain playable until March 31st, 2024. After this 
date, the game servers will shut down, which means the game will not be 
accessible anymore.https://t.co/P0h453kJfT pic.twitter.com/QKRmzvDrrB

According to the second notice on the page, all extra DLC content is now 
unavailable to buy, too, with seemingly no other way to obtain it if you 
didnt already own it. The message also states: The game will remain playable 
until March 31, 2024, for all The Crew owners. After this date, the game 
servers will shut down, which means the game will not be accessible anymore. 

Its worth noting that at the time of writing, Ubisoft seemingly hasnt added 
The Crew to its growing list of decommissioned online servers - it usually 
highlights the games which are set to have their servers shut down on its 
website a few months in advance. In October, for example, it was announced 
that online servers for 10 games, including some classic Assassin's Creed 
titles, will be shut down in January 2024 . 

A search online also reveals that the PlayStation 4 version of The Crew is 
also missing from the PlayStation Store, and the Xbox store page direct users 
to play it via Ubisoft+. However, searching for The Crew on the list of 
Ubisoft+ games only brings up The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest , indicating 
that its been removed from the publishers subscription service, too.
