The Crew Motorfest: Season 10 Hands-on Preview

The Crew Motorfest is ready to drift into Season 10 and we were able to take The Crew Motorfest: Season 10 for a test drive.

After spending time with The Crew Motorfest Season 10 ahead of its launch, the new season feels like a confident step forward for the evolving live service. Ubisoft’s shift to four three-month seasons brings a tighter focus on content delivery, and the early build already shows a polished mix of familiar festival energy with meaningful new additions. The Hawaiian islands have never felt more alive with fresh activities layered on top of the existing open world.

The updated framework keeps the core loop engaging while introducing longer-form experiences that many players have been requesting. From the moment you load in, the seasonal changes are evident in the improved pacing and variety, making Season 10 a substantial refresh that rewards both returning veterans and newer drivers looking for their next automotive obsession.

Hands-On with the Hawaii Grand Tour

Taking the Hawaii Grand Tour for a spin reveals an ambitious one-hour-plus endurance event that successfully delivers on the promise of a true archipelago-spanning adventure. The route weaves through diverse terrain across all available islands, blending high-speed straights, technical corners, and breathtaking coastal sections that make full use of Motorfest’s stunning visuals and dynamic weather.

The sense of scale is impressive, with meaningful checkpoints and strategic decisions around vehicle choice and fuel management adding depth. Completing the event feels genuinely rewarding, especially with the hidden vehicle unlock waiting at the end. It stands out as one of the most memorable playlists in the game so far and sets a high bar for future Special Events.

Driving Impressions and New Features

The Ford Mustang GT Beta Drift Handling Edition immediately stands out during hands-on testing, offering a refined drift feel that feels more responsive and tunable than standard models. Early feedback options in the game make it clear Ubisoft is iterating quickly on handling, which could benefit the entire roster moving forward. New TrackForge Street & Touge assets also shine when building custom routes, adding authentic Japanese-inspired elements that pair perfectly with the fresh drift modes.

The return of Stories brings back that satisfying scavenger-hunt progression, while expanded playlists keep the live content feeling dynamic. Performance on current-gen hardware remains solid, with the longer events showcasing impressive streaming and draw distances across the expanded map.

Final Thoughts on Season 10

Season 10 successfully balances nostalgia with innovation, delivering exactly the kind of expansive, celebratory content that makes Motorfest special. The combination of the epic Hawaii Grand Tour, a deep vehicle lineup, and quality-of-life improvements creates one of the strongest seasonal updates yet.

Whether you prefer relaxed cruising, competitive racing, or creative track building, there’s something here that will keep you coming back throughout the three-month window. This hands-on time has me excited for launch day and the rest of the year in The Crew Motorfest.
