Ubisoft is bringing The Crew Motorfest to the Switch 2 on October 8, giving portable console players access to the open-world racing title. This release matters because it expands the game's reach to a new hardware ecosystem that has been highly anticipated by gamers. The move allows Switch 2 owners to experience the same driving content that has been available on other platforms for over a year.
Ubisoft port brings open-world racing to portable console
The game was originally released on September 14, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store. Ubisoft and its developer Ubisoft Ivory Tower are now porting this existing title to the Switch 2. This release aligns with the common practice of porting successful multi-platform titles to new Nintendo consoles following their original launch.
The physical Switch 2 edition will ship on a game-key card format rather than a traditional game card. This means buyers will receive a card containing a digital redemption code instead of a physical cartridge. The game will be available globally on October 8, allowing players worldwide to access the title on the same day.
Ubisoft stated, "Enjoy the game free for five hours! Grab your ticket to Motorfest, show off your skills, and live the most thrilling driving experiences car culture has to offer!" This indicates that players can try the game for free for a limited time before purchasing. The five-hour free trial lets players try the core driving features without needing to purchase the game immediately.

The Switch 2 release adds the title to the console's library on October 8, following its initial 2023 launch on other platforms. The physical edition ships on a game-key card, which serves as a digital code for download. Players can now access the racing experience on Switch 2 alongside existing PC and console versions.
