The closed beta for Ubisoft’s open-world racer The Crew kicks off on Monday, July 21, and we’ve got 30 codes to share. The game, which is the product of a collaboration between developers Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections, presents players with an open world United States (just the 48 contiguous states) to cruise around in with other drivers. There’s racing, there’s time trials, there’s some competitive battles… it’s a bit of everything.
Update: All the codes have been given out! Thanks everyone.
The beta runs until July 25, and it features a limited slice of the main game. You can find a full rundown of what’s included right here. Don’t forget that this is a test, so it’s not at all indicative of the final experience. You may run into bugs and the like. Don’t be alarmed. That’s why Ubi’s swinging open the doors on letting you play.
If you want to nab one of the 30 codes we’re sharing this weekend, keep watching @DigitalTrends on Twitter. We’ll be blasting out opportunities to win on Saturday and Sunday. They’re going in batches of five and we’ll be tweeting it out from the Digital Trends Twitter sometime between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. ET (9 a.m. to 2 p.m. PT) each day. The first five to tweet “Racing with the #DTCrew” at @digitaltrends and @geminibros win.
Be sure to take note of the minimum and recommended hardware requirements, however. This is a PC beta, so make sure your machine is up for it. You find hardware requirements and code redemption instructions below.

Your charging cable might get a workout if you try ‘Charchery’
The concept is as simple as it is destructive: you plug your charger into the phone to nock an arrow, and you physically yank it out to fire. It is undeniably clever, bizarre, and almost certainly a terrible idea for the longevity of your hardware.
Your Fable reboot preview is here, open world Albion looks gloriously chaotic
The hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.

Wonder game, the Talking Flower is exactly what its name suggests: a potted flower that speaks around twice per hour, delivering lines like "Sometimes it's nice to space out" or "Bowser and his buds can't get us here, right?"
