Ubisoft faces lawsuit for allegedly misleading players by shutting down The Crew | Filing claims games firm "duped customers" into purchasing title without knowledge servers could be turned off


Ubisoft is facing a proposed class action lawsuit over its decision to shut down The Crew earlier this year.

In a filing submitted to a California Court on November 4, 2024, two players have alleged that Ubisoft "duped consumers" into purchasing The Crew without the knowledge that its servers could be shut down making the game unplayable. The lawsuit claimed consumers were misled into believing they owned the game data either physically on a disc or via digitally downloaded files. The Plaintiffs have requested monetary relief and damages as a result of the server shutdown, and for the court to approve the filing as a class action lawsuit to involve other affected consumers.
