At this point, there’s a pretty good chance Microsoft’s going to port its Forza Horizon franchise to PS5 – but until that day arrives, The Crew Motorfest remains a welcome alternative. And with its third full season of content available now, publisher Ubisoft has announced the title’s first-ever free weekend, scheduled to get underway from 14th March through 18th March.
This will, of course, entitle you to enjoy the entire game during the aforementioned dates – and any progress you make will be transferrable to the full release should you decide to purchase it at any point.
The new season is headlined by the Hollywood Action playlist, which is described in the press release as an “epic recreation of a blockbuster movie set”. The blurb expands: “Taking the wheel of some of most iconic cars seen on the silver screen, players will put their driving skills to the test in Dirty Driving, destroying as many objects and making the scenes as spectacular as possible, or in Video Lane where they will have to stay in the director’s lens while taking on challenging routes.”
If you complete all nine events, you’ll unlock the Aston Martin DB5, which seems like a fitting reward for the Hollywood-inspired content.
Elsewhere, a whopping 47 new vehicles have been added to the game, which are either exclusive to The Crew Motorfest or upgraded from The Crew 2. And those who own the Year 1 Pass will unlock eight new vehicles over the coming months, including the Mini Cooper S 1968 and the Honda Integra 1998.
As the Editor of Push Square, Sammy has over 15 years of experience analysing the world of PlayStation, from PS3 through PS5 and everything in between. He’s an expert on PS Studios and industry matters, as well as sports games and simulators. He also enjoys RPGs when he has the time to dedicate to them, and is a bit of a gacha whale.
Going by a complete stab in the dark — but judging by the fact not a single soul seems bothered, maybe it's time Ubisoft stopped flogging this dead horse

We haven't seen much of Star Wars Outlaws since its big debut last summer, but it looks like we won't have to wait for the 2024 Summer Game Fest schedule for more. Ubisoft has just announced a big story trailer for the upcoming Star Wars game, and it's landing very, very soon.
Some fans believe Ubisoft has dropped a hint about the Splinter Cell remake.
Ubisoft is the latest company to reveal its not-E3 livestream for the upcoming summer months, with its live and in-person event set to take place on 10th June 2024. That is three days after Summer Game Fest streams live from the YouTube Theatre, fronted by Geoff Keighley. Ubisoft teases it'll have «updates and upcoming releases» to show.

Ubisoft has announced that its annual Forward event will return this summer.
Splinter Cell Remake news could be inbound as Ubisoft Toronto has updated its official Facebook page.
Ubisoft Forward is returning on June 10, live from Los Angeles, the publisher announced today on Twitter. This is Ubisoft's premiere event to show updates, upcoming releases of announced games, and brand-new unannounced projects. Once, it was part of the various Electronic Entertainment Expo conferences. However, with E3 now effectively dead, it has become part of its soft replacement: Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, which starts on June 7 this year. There's no word yet on which games will be shown at Ubisoft Forward, but we can certainly speculate based on the publisher's known lineup.
Ubisoft has confirmed it will hold its annual Ubisoft Forward event on June 10.
June 10 will be a big day for Ubisoft, as the major triple-A publisher will be holding a new Ubisoft Forward livestream that day – around the same time as Summer Game Fest. With the once-prominent E3 not returning for the foreseeable future, it will fall to similar events like Summer Game Fest to serve as a showcase for upcoming video games from publishers like Ubisoft in 2024 and beyond. Certain companies have even started hosting their own shows throughout the year, with Sony supposedly holding a PlayStation Showcase centered around Silent Hill 2 and other first-party titles sometime next month.
Ubisoft has revealed when its next major showcase will take place. The latest edition of Ubisoft Forward is set for June 10 in Los Angeles. That's at the tailend of the main slate of Summer Game Fest festivities, and on the same day as Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote.
Ubisoft has announced another round of layoffs, with 45 staff affected across its global publishing and Asia-Pacific teams.
