The Crew Motorfest is available now on the Nintendo Store for $64.99.
Nintendo Switch 2 Gameplay
The Crew Motorfest Comes to Nintendo Switch 2
The Crew Motorfest on Nintendo Switch 2 has been optimized to preserve the full Motorfest experience while giving players the freedom to race anywhere.
Set across a vibrant open-world version of Hawaii, The Crew Motorfest lets players explore, race, collect vehicles, take on themed playlists, and experience different driving cultures across land, sea, and air.
With the Switch 2 launch, Nintendo players can now join the Motorfest alongside players on Ubisoft+, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam Deck, and PC through the Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store, and Steam.
Season 11: Expeditions Adds a New Island and Major Features
Season 11 officially kicks off the game’s fourth year of content with a focus on exploration.
The update introduces a new free island, Kauai, giving players a fresh area to discover through the Kauai Expeditions Playlist. Players will carve the first roads across the island’s coastlines, cliffs, jungles, and hidden paths while uncovering new events and activities.
The free playlist includes:
- Eight main events
- 40 animals to photograph
- New Road Discovery feature
- New exploration rewards
- New off-road-focused gameplay opportunities
The addition of wildlife is also a major shift for The Crew Motorfest, making the archipelago feel more alive as players explore.
Tomb Raider: Secrets of Ni’ihau Brings Lara Croft to Motorfest
One of the biggest additions in Season 11 is the premium DLC pack Tomb Raider: Secrets of Ni’ihau, created in partnership with Crystal Dynamics.
In this new playlist, players join Lara Croft as she searches for a missing friend who disappeared while chasing a powerful relic. Lara guides players from afar as they navigate a storm-lashed jungle filled with ancient ruins, dangerous predators, and hidden secrets.
The English voice-over will feature Alix Wilton Regan as the new official voice of Lara Croft.
It is a surprising crossover, but it fits Season 11’s expedition theme well. Tomb Raider brings mystery, relic hunting, jungle exploration, and a sense of adventure to Motorfest’s racing formula.
Kauai Expeditions Encourages Players to Explore
The new Kauai Expeditions Playlist is available as free content and is built around discovery.
Instead of only focusing on structured races, this playlist asks players to explore the island, photograph animals, uncover the map, and travel along new routes. The new Road Discovery feature rewards players for exploring exciting paths across the world.
This gives The Crew Motorfest a stronger adventure layer, especially for players who enjoy open-world driving beyond traditional races.
Winch and Towing Add New Gameplay Options
Season 11 also introduces winch and towing, a new feature available on select vehicles.
The winch can be used to haul debris, solve puzzles, explore new trails, and even pull other vehicles out of trouble. This adds a more practical off-road toolset to the game and gives players new ways to interact with the environment.
Vehicles built for towing challenges include:
- Hyundai Crater Concept
- Suzuki Jimny Winch Edition
- Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6
These vehicles should be especially useful for players diving into Kauai’s rougher terrain and expedition-style challenges.
Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato Joins the Lineup
Season 11 also adds the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato.
Built to leave the asphalt behind, the Huracan Sterrato brings supercar performance to off-road environments. It is sleek, fast, and designed to tear through the wilderness, making it a strong fit for the season’s exploration and trailblazing theme.
Bugatti Tourbillon Gets a Special Event
Players can also look forward to a new Special Event dedicated to the Bugatti Tourbillon.
The Tourbillon makes its video game debut in Season 11, giving car fans another major vehicle to chase. With its status as one of the headline cars of the season, the Bugatti Tourbillon should be one of the biggest draws for collectors and hypercar fans.
More Year 4 and Season 11 Vehicles
A total of 20 new vehicles will roll out across Year 4 and Season 11.
Confirmed vehicles include:
- Bugatti Tourbillon
- Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato
- Hyundai Crater Concept
- Suzuki Jimny (2018) Special Edition
- Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (2025) Street Tier 2
- Automobili Pininfarina Battista (2020) Hypercar
- Italdesign Zerouno (2017) Hypercar
Between off-road concepts, luxury hypercars, and performance machines, Season 11 gives players a wide variety of new vehicles to collect and master.
Trackforge Expands With Off-Road Creation Tools
Season 11 also adds a new Trackforge Kit built for off-road creations.
This new kit is designed to take community-created tracks further, giving players more tools to build off-road-focused challenges. With Kauai, winch mechanics, towing, and new trailblazing vehicles, Trackforge’s new off-road kit fits naturally into the season’s expedition theme.
A Big Moment for Nintendo Switch 2 Racing Fans
The Crew Motorfest launching on Nintendo Switch 2 gives Nintendo players access to one of Ubisoft’s biggest live racing games at a major time for the title.
Instead of arriving with only the base experience, the Switch 2 version launches alongside Season 11, meaning Nintendo players can immediately jump into the game’s newest content, including Kauai, wildlife photography, Road Discovery, new vehicles, and the Tomb Raider premium DLC.
For players looking for a large open-world racing game on Switch 2, this is a major addition to the system’s lineup.
Final Thoughts
The Crew Motorfest arriving on Nintendo Switch 2 is a strong launch for Ubisoft’s racing festival on Nintendo’s newest hardware.
With Season 11: Expeditions available alongside it, new players are getting a massive content drop from day one. The addition of Kauai, Tomb Raider: Secrets of Ni’ihau, winch and towing gameplay, wildlife photography, new vehicles, Trackforge tools, and Special Events makes this one of the most exciting moments yet for The Crew Motorfest.
For Nintendo Switch 2 players, this is a chance to jump into Motorfest at a time when the game feels bigger, more adventurous, and more focused on exploration than ever.
