The Crew Motorfest Season 11 Starts October 7 With a Free Kauai Island, and the Year 4 Pass Costs $29.99
The Crew Motorfest Season 11 starts on October 7, 2026, and it adds Kauai, a new island that every player gets for free. Ubisoft confirmed the date on September 17 in its Year 4 showcase. It also set the Year 4 Pass at $29.99 / €29.99 and said the game reaches Nintendo Switch 2 on October 8.
The free Season 11 content arrives on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC, which is where Motorfest is sold today. It is also included with a Ubisoft+ subscription. The Switch 2 version is new, and Ubisoft has not said whether Year 4 content will reach it at the same time.
What's free in The Crew Motorfest Season 11
Kauai is Motorfest's third new island. Ubisoft calls it wilder and emptier than the existing islands, with dense swamps and a Red Canyon area. It comes with a free Kauai Expedition Playlist, and you uncover routes bit by bit rather than seeing the whole map at once.
Season 11 also adds a winch, which lets you pull a car over obstacles and haul cargo. Ubisoft says more than 40 animal species will appear across all the islands, not only Kauai. The season's featured cars are:
- Bugatti Tourbillon, earned through a Special Event and a Summit Contest
- Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato
- Suzuki Jimny, fitted with the new winch
- Hyundai Crater Concept
TrackForge, the track editor, gets an off-road "Pure Dirt" kit with Season 11. Ubisoft says PvP races in TrackForge are still in development and has not given a date.
Year 4 Pass price and the Tomb Raider DLC
The Year 4 Pass costs $29.99 / €29.99. Ubisoft says it covers 21 vehicles over the year, delivered through monthly drops and four Elite bundles per season. The pass also includes Tomb Raider: Secrets of Niʻihau, a paid expansion that launches alongside Season 11 on October 7.
The DLC opens up the island of Niʻihau and adds a new Playlist and five exclusive vehicles. Lara Croft guides the story, which mixes puzzles with prehistoric creatures, including a Mosasaurus and a T-Rex. You can only play it if you own the Year 4 Pass or buy the Tomb Raider pack on its own. Ubisoft has not announced the standalone price yet.
The Crew Motorfest roadmap after Season 11
- Season 12 (January 2027): Asia-themed, covering Japan, China and South Korea. It adds the Yangwang brand, including the 2026 Yangwang U9 Xtrem, a car that can jump. The 2026 Honda Prelude and the 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT V6 are also listed, along with street racing inspired by Season 8.
- Season 13 (April 2027): brings semi-trucks as a new vehicle category, plus services such as taxis and limousines. Ubisoft says this season is still in development, so treat the details as provisional.
Free Ford Bronco and the 5-hour free trial
The quickest thing to act on is a free Ford Bronco. Ubisoft says you get it by logging into The Crew Motorfest within 72 hours of the showcase. It did not give an exact deadline, so log in by the end of September 19 to be safe.
New players can try the full game for up to five hours on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. Ubisoft is also running a Friend Pass, which gives invited friends unlimited free access to play with an owner.
What the Switch 2 version includes
The Switch 2 version launches on October 8, the day after Season 11. Ubisoft describes it as the full Motorfest experience, with the Hawaiian islands and hundreds of vehicles. The showcase post did not give a Switch 2 price. It also did not say whether cross-progression works or whether Kauai and the Tomb Raider DLC are on Switch 2 from day one. If you plan to buy on Switch 2, wait for Ubisoft's store listing.
