Can I Run The Crew 2?
Released in 2018, The Crew 2 is an action massively multiplayer game built by Ivory Tower. Publishing duties went to Ubisoft. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. The game ships for Windows alone. Its Steam review count passes 86 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. It is localised into 14 languages according to the store listing. There are 34 achievements to chase. At 8 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own.

Setting and environment
The Crew 2 places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through circuits and tracks. The view is from a first person view. The publisher supplies 6 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why The Crew 2 is demanding
The Crew 2 is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 ( target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear The Crew 2. The Crew 2 needs only 8 GB of RAM. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 6 GB. The Crew 2 names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run The Crew 2?
The Crew 2 targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD HD 7870 (2GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or better) and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) or GTX 970 (4GB) or AMD RX 470 (8GB) or better for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.24x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.26x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.56x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against The Crew 2's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
