The crew 2 is going big with Season 7 Episode 1: Into the Storm, a free update out now and a performance boost of 60fps for the Xbox Series S (among other quality of life improvements), new vehicles and a five-tier, all-our underground Street race from St. Louis to Las Vegas. In the biggest show, produced by the fictional in-game TV production company Motorflix, players will zoom through America’s heartland and past the finish line in five stages designed to push their driving skills to the limit. Dangerous and unpredictable conditions await players as players must dodge collapsing buildings, stay on course through a sandstorm and deal with police roadblocks on their way to victory. If players can successfully complete all five stages of the race, they will unlock the Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4 No Rules Edition (Street Race).
Into the Storm also adds a new Xbox Series S performance mode that runs The crew 2 at 60FPS at a resolution of 1080p. Performance mode also gets a graphics rendering boost on Xbox Series X, with support for 60fps at 1440p.
Racers can also start today with a new engine pass that includes 50 tiers of rewards including cosmetic items, currency packs and new vehicles including the McLaren P1 Gold Line Edition (Hypercar), Pontiac Firebird T/A Golden Wings Edition (Street Race) and the Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R Nebula Edition (Street Race). The S7E1 Engine Pass offers a total of 17 tiers of free rewards, including the Porsche 918 Spyder Silver Edition (Hypercar). In addition to new rewards, the new update changes how the engine pass system works. For starters, the new pass now offers players the option to purchase it with 3,000,000 Bucks, the in-game currency earned through play, as well as 80,000 Crew Credits.
Also, starting with this update, vehicles from previous engine passes will return for purchase through the in-game shop, starting November 23 with the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Interception Unit (Street Race). On December 21st, players can snag the Creators KS Masked Leader (Street Race) and the Bugatti Chiron Interception Unit (Hypercar), and on December 28th the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Interception Unit (Street Race) will return. All-new vehicles will also be available for purchase during the episode, including the Pontiac Firebird T/A 1977 (Street Race) and Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R (Street Race), along with 43 new vanity items such as Avatar Outfits, Smokes, Underglow, animated roofs and more.

It starts today in The crew 2so strap yourself into your vehicle of choice and get ready to head into the storm head first.
