Highways, dense forests, rocky tracks – in Ubisoft® upcoming video game “The Crew 2”, players experience all kinds of adventures both on and off-road in a action-packed open world – and now also at the wheel of the new X-Class from Mercedes-Benz.
The Mercedes-Benz X-Class has its own mission in the new video game “The Crew 2” and is the off-road highlight of the game. “The Crew 2” goes on sale on 29 June 2018. The Closed Beta Version will be available from 31 May. For this purpose, Mercedes-Benz Vans is making 5000 access codes exclusively available on its social media channels as of now.
The world’s first pickup from a premium manufacturer is part of the virtual Open World adventure of “The Crew 2”, which will be released worldwide on 29 June 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The X-Class plays the lead in a tailored mission of the “Rally Raid” discipline, which takes place off-road. Once players have successfully completed this race, they will be rewarded with the exclusive vehicle. The X-Class is also available in “free roaming” mode, which allows the entire map of the racing game to be explored.

The X-Class mission is also part of the free Closed Beta Version of the game, which will be available from May 31 to June 4.

To be able to download and play the closed beta version, an Ubisoft account is required.
Individualisation of the X-Class and numerous other models from Mercedes-Benz in “The Crew 2”
The developers of “The Crew 2” have given the virtual off-roader some extreme tuning touches that differ from the equipment options available in the real world: larger tyres, a winch on the front bumper and a loading area cover prepare the pickup for the racing missions in the video game. Players can also customize their X-Class using the game’s configuration options and can, for example, select their desired colour and wheels.
Furthermore numerous other models from Mercedes-Benz can be choosen in “The Crew 2”. Players can select e.g the 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé (1955), the C 63 AMG Black Series, the AMG GT or the GLC Coupé.
The first car racing game to be designed as a massively multiplayer online game, “The Crew” so far has 14 million players worldwide.
