With The Crew Motorfest launch now only a few days away, Ubisoft has finally revealed their upcoming racing installment’s preload times as players steadily approach the starting grid. Naturally, those who pre-ordered either the Gold or Ultimate Editions can install it onto their systems much earlier. Those who opted for the practical standard version, however, will only be able to do so a couple of days later.
This is mainly because The Crew Motorfest early access start date, which is set to take place three days before the release date, is only available for players who bought the more expensive editions. No matter what version you purchased, though, you will be allowed to download it early on your system. So without further ado, here’s when the preload times are going to be.
The Crew Motorfest preload times
The Crew Motorfest preload times are going to begin at 1 AM PT / 4 AM ET / 9 AM BST on September 9, 2023, for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Keep in mind, though, that this schedule is only for those who purchased either the Gold or Ultimate Editions. If you bought the standard edition, you can download it on your system at midnight in your region starting September 12, 2023. Here’s how these times break down per region:

Since The Crew Motorfest’s standard launch has a rolling midnight start time, this means that you may be able to employ the New Zealand trick to play it early. If you plan on playing the game for the foreseeable future, though, then we suggest purchasing either the Gold or Ultimate Edition, so you can join the early access period that takes place a couple of days earlier.
That’s all you need to know for now on the game’s preload times. For more on Ubisoft’s next racing installment, check out our guides on Is The Crew Motorfest on Steam and Is The Crew Motorfest on Game Pass as well.
