Join The Crew a few days early via the closed PC beta

As promised, the closed beta for Ubisoft's online racer The Crew will launch in July starting next week.

It all begins on July 21, which is a few days earlier than the planned July 23. It will run all week until Friday, July 25.

The missions will take place on the East Coast and Midwest maps, but tester will be able to free roam the entire map of the US.

The final game will, of course, have missions and skill challenges throughout the entire map.

Challenge areas will contain two PvP lobbies while Dirt Spec (New York) and Street Spec (Detroit) customization will be the only options for the time being. Other specs, Perf, Raid and Circuit, will be glimpsed.

The Crew is slated for a November 11 release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
