As with the previous title, The Crew 2 requires a constant internet connection to play. This mode can also be played solo with artificial intelligence. It also features a cooperative multiplayer mode, which allows players to join any events besides “boss” events together. Similar to the first will place a huge emphasis on multiplayer. These themes include off-road, street racing, pro racing, and free-style. The game features four different hub worlds, with each having their own theme and playstyle. Players can switch between controlling air, land and sea vehicles instantly.

Each vehicle has its own control physics, meaning that game play is different when players are controlling different types of vehicles. In addition to cars, players can control other kinds of vehicles, including airplanes, motorcycles, and powerboats. It features a persistent open world environment for racing and free-roaming across a scaled-down recreation of the contiguous United States. In the game, players assume control of a racer who is trying to work their way to become successful in multiple vehicular racing disciplines.

Similar to its predecessor, The Crew 2 is a racing game.
