The Crew Closed Beta gameplay: Cruising through the streets of New York

We take to the streets of New York in Ubisoft's upcoming giant-sized open world racing game, The Crew. While the Closed Beta doesn't feature all of the missions, it does give full access to the entirety of the United States, letting players explore each of the six main cities of New York, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

In this video, I simply drive around the many parts of New York, just to give a sense of scale. To my knowledge, I don't drive across the same road twice, meaning this whole video is me exploring all the various parts of New York. Also keep in mind, that I'm not going through every single street in New York, so it's actually a lot bigger than what's being show in this video.

So what's all included in the Closed Beta of The Crew? Here are the details:

Locations

• Midwest: All missions and skill challenges
• East Coast: All skill challenges
• West Coast, Mountain States, South: Open for free- roaming!

Cars

• The Street Spec: You’ll get this one in Detroit!
• The Dirt Spec: This spec will be available in New York!

And of course, you'll be able to form crews and play with your friends during the Closed Beta as well.

The Crew Closed Beta is currently live until this Friday, July 25th.

*Note: Any slowdown and framerate hiccups you see in the video are due to my computer build and FRAPS.
