The Crew Motorfest Switch 2 Release Date Set for October 8, 2026

The Crew Motorfest is heading to Nintendo Switch 2, with Ubisoft confirming an October 8, 2026 release date. The news arrived shortly after retail leaker billbil-kun reported that a Switch 2 port was in the works, with an official reveal expected the same day.

Release Date and Pricing

The Crew Motorfest launches on Switch 2 on October 8, 2026, available both digitally via the Nintendo eShop and as a physical Game-Key Card. The retail price is set at $50 / £45, matching the game's pricing on other platforms.

As with the PC, PlayStation, and Xbox versions, the Switch 2 edition requires an online connection to play, meaning it can't be played fully offline even when taken on the go.

What's Included

The Switch 2 version brings the full Motorfest experience to Nintendo's hybrid console, including:

• The complete open world spanning the Hawaiian islands of Oʻahu and Maui
• Thematic campaigns celebrating American muscle, Japanese-style street racing, and classic legendary vehicles
• Live events like the Grand Race and Demolition Royale
• TrackForge, the community track-creation tool added in March 2026

Originally launched in September 2023, The Crew Motorfest has continued expanding post-launch, and this Switch 2 port brings Ubisoft's open-world racer to Nintendo hardware for the first time in the franchise's history — none of the previous Crew titles ever made it to a Nintendo platform.

Our Take

A Switch 2 port for The Crew Motorfest makes sense given the console's growing appetite for open-world racers, but the always-online requirement and Game-Key Card physical release are likely to draw the same complaints Switch 2 owners have voiced about other recent ports. Still, for players who want Motorfest's Hawaiian open world in handheld form, October 8 isn't far off.
