"The launch of any online game these days has potential issues, but I hope that players will be encouraged by our open approach. If you had any doubts that we could pull this off, I hope that the betas proved our credentials and the game's stability," Ubisoft's lead designer for "The Crew" said. 

Hasan also stated that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions of the open-world racing game will perform well on both gaming consoles. 

According to reports, the PS4 and Xbox One editions of "The Crew" will run using 1080p/ 30 FPS resolution. Gamestar, a German gaming magazine, also shared the official graphics details for "The Crew's" PC edition.
