The Crew will Feature a Day One Patch

If you're into racing titles, then The Crew will probably be something you're really looking forward to. It's poised to be the first major racing game on next-generation consoles, and should prove to be a pretty solid title on seventh-generation consoles.

While we're all very excited for The Crew, its developers have come out recently to say that there is a problem with the game. There is a bug that disallows players from joining a crew. As the game's name implies, being able to join a team is a pretty important part of the experience.

The developers have devised a day-one patch that will address this issue and many others. We're not sure how this will affect those of you who don't have access to the web, but playing together on a local network may not even be affected by the glitch.
