The Crew Motorfest’s Hot Wheels‑style Playground Island lands free on Xbox and Game Pass on 4 March

Ubisoft will expand The Crew Motorfest with a new Hot Wheels‑style map called "Playground Island" as part of Season 09, which launches on 4 March. The map expansion is free for all players and will be available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers on launch day.

The developer says Playground Island blends toy‑like track design with high‑speed racing, promising "loops, magnetic roads and pure thrill collide with the raw intensity of a real NASCAR circuit." The update aims to bring a more arcade‑orientated, stunt‑focused layer to the open‑world racer.

Season 09 also introduces TrackForge, a new in‑game tool that enables players to build and share custom circuits. Ubisoft describes the feature as a way to deepen the community‑created content ecosystem, alongside other seasonal additions and balance adjustments.

The expansion forms part of Ubisoft's ongoing post‑launch support for The Crew Motorfest, with the studio offering the new island at no extra charge. Further details and event schedules are expected in the run‑up to the 4 March release.

Initial reporting on the Season 09 reveal was published by Pure Xbox, which covered Ubisoft's announcement and early footage of the Playground Island concept.
