The Crew 2 Open Beta: Release Date

The Crew 2 Open Beta: What’s Included?
While it’s unclear what exactly will/won’t make the cut when it comes to The Crew 2 Open Beta, the description for the preview seems to indicate we’ll be able to get our hands on planes and boats, as well as cars, plus ‘a variety of motorsport disciplines.’ Basically, expect a considerable chunk of gameplay to (hopefully) tempt you into parting with your hard-earned cash when the game launches for realsies.
