The Crew will make use of a server bubble type system that will allow for seamless drop-in and drop-out multiplayer. Each player will have a server bubble around them and up to seven other players can join in on your session
Game Designer:
"Say for example, you’re in solo mode and you’re driving across the USA, try to imagine a bubble, a server bubble that is around you and up to seven people can join your session, drop-in or drop-out. It’s seamless basically. It won’t be like the same seven people are going to be with you [the whole time you’re playing the game]. If you imagine this proximity of multiplayer that follows you, you will encounter lots and lots of different people. The important thing for us is that it’s very quick to crew up, you can meet people and immediately form a crew. It won’t be like sending a friend request [and waiting], it’s like saying we’re buddies right now and we want to play together."
The game is designed to be played with others as you all take on missions and unlock car parts:
"You might want to do more narrative focused missions yourself and then later if we can joined up with you and saw you did a mission by yourself, that would [defeat the co-op aspects] of the game. We want people to be playing missions a lot for the car parts that you’ll earn, so it’s hopefully not considered a grind, it’s actually something that’s really cool to play in co-op together"
