Those who own either game on a previous gen console can use cross save compatibility to bring their vault hunter to the new console.

Ubisofts‘ massive open world racer The Crew has received it’s second of four known DLC packs and it comes with three new cars for those willing to shell out some cash. To see all the cars mentioned below in action be sure to check out the trailer embedded at the bottom of the page.
