The Crew Motorfest update 1.025 officially launches Season 11 and Year Pass 4 on October 7, 2026. This major expansion introduces a crossover with the Tomb Raider franchise, the first implementation of six-wheeled vehicle physics in the series, and prepares the title for its upcoming launch on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Season 11: Secrets of Ni’ihau
The centerpiece of Season 11 is the “Secrets of Ni’ihau” Playlist, developed in collaboration with the Tomb Raider franchise. This content requires ownership of Year Pass 4 or a standalone DLC purchase. Players will explore themed environments using new assets designed to evoke the atmosphere of Lara Croft’s archeological expeditions.
New Vehicle Types and Gameplay Mechanics
Update 1.025 introduces the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6, which marks the debut of a dedicated 6-Wheeler vehicle type. Ubisoft has updated the game’s physics engine specifically to accommodate the unique traction and weight distribution of these triple-axle machines.
To further enhance off-road exploration, a new Winch feature has been added. Eligible vehicles can now attach a cable to various environmental surfaces and objects, allowing players to pull themselves out of difficult terrain or interact with the world in new ways.
TrackForge and Nintendo Switch 2 Launch
The TrackForge toolset receives a significant expansion with the “Pure Dirt” kit. This update adds 200 new modules focused on off-road racing, allowing creators to build more complex dirt tracks and trials. According to the official patch notes, these modules are specifically designed for off-road building.
While this update rolls out for existing platforms, The Crew Motorfest is also scheduled to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 8, 2026. This version is expected to feature native support for the new hardware, though specific graphical toggles or resolution targets for the platform have not yet been detailed.
Key Fixes and Adjustments
- RC Cars: Fixed a graphical glitch where Rayman’s head would unexpectedly appear in the Hood Camera view.
- Environmental Interaction: Adjusted collision physics for off-road objects to better support the new Winch mechanic.
- Vehicle Physics: Implemented specific suspension tuning for 6-wheeled vehicles to prevent clipping during high-speed turns.
The addition of the Winch and the 6-wheeler class represents a shift toward more technical off-road gameplay for Motorfest. Players can expect these mechanics to be utilized in the Secrets of Ni’ihau Playlist, which emphasizes environmental navigation over traditional street racing.
