GET READY FOR A WILD RIDE 

Today, Ubisoft^® announced that The Crew^® Wild Run, the expansion to the action-driving MMO The Crew^®, is available worldwide for download from November 17th and will be available in stores on November 19th on Xbox One, PlayStation^®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. Starting today all players of The Crew will experience a free update including updated graphics, new lighting effects, redesigned areas adapted for all types of vehicles and the all-new weather system.

In The Crew Wild Run, players will hit the road with four new vehicle types created to test their driving skills and push the limits of the road: dragsters, designed to reach incredible top speeds; drift cars that demonstrate impressive control; unstoppable monster trucks that can perform dangerous backflips and insane jumps; and a range of agile motorcycles geared to take on the fastest cars on- and off-road.

The Crew Wild Run will rally players to “The Summit”, the largest challenge in a driving game to date, where they will showcase their talents across the widest range of skillsets and terrains. Each summit will last three days on average and will take place in iconic US locations. Two Summit Qualifiers will pop up every week. After a full month of intense competition, the best participants will get access to the Monthly Summit Finale in order to battle to become king of the road and be rewarded with an exclusive new vehicle. Players will have a chance to challenge their friends in FreeDrive activities, allowing them to create their own race in The Crew’s gigantic open world playground. Speed and skill challenges as well as Stunt competitions will also be on schedule, with brand-new trials created exclusively to fit new vehicles’ specificities.

Moreover, an updated free trial* version of The Crew will be accessible for all players, giving them access to two hours of gameplay on all platforms. They will also be able to complete the game’s prologue; to explore the playground; to start the story campaign playable solo or in co-op; participate in Extreme Spec Trials to get a feel for Drift cars, Dragsters and Monster Trucks; or visit the Saint-Louis Bike Dealer to test-drive motorbikes on offer.

"Halo 5: Guardians" smashes record with biggest Halo launch in history

Latest entry drove more than $400 million in global sales of "Halo 5: Guardians" games and hardware during first week and pushes franchise over the $5 billion mark.

One week after launching worldwide, "Halo 5: Guardians" has made history as the biggest Halo launch and fastest-selling Xbox One exclusive game to date, with more than $400 million in global sales of "Halo 5: Guardians" games and hardware, pushing the franchise to over $5 billion lifetime. With the highest week one attach rate for a Microsoft first-party title on Xbox One, the game was the most played of any game on Xbox One, as well as the most played on Xbox Live.  

Fans have logged more than 21 million hours of total gameplay, including 12 million hours in campaign mode alone. The widely praised multiplayer modes have also led to 9 million total hours played with nearly 7 million multiplayer matches played across Arena and the all-new Warzone mode. In addition, Halo fans are taking to the new Requisition System in a big way, with over 45 million REQ Packs acquired, totaling more than 568 million REQ Cards.

Last week's "Halo 5: Live" earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most watched video game launch broadcast, setting a precedent with more than 330,000 unique streams on the evening of the broadcast. In addition, content from the broadcast generated 5.5 million total views throughout the week. This resulted in a spike in digital sales of "Halo 5: Guardians," leading to it becoming the best-selling digital game ever in the Xbox Store for an opening week.

"The success of 'Halo 5: Guardians' is a testament to the innovative work from the entire team at 343 Industries to bring this installment to Xbox One and the incredible community of fans who have come to love the story, characters and gameplay central to the franchise," said Phil Spencer, head of Xbox. "The game represents all the possibilities of Xbox One and has earned its place as the anchor title in the greatest holiday games lineup in Xbox history."

Fans around the world have discovered the pure entertainment of what  The Verge calls "an absolute masterclass in how to craft a first-person shooter" and currently the highest rated Xbox One exclusive, first-person shooter game of 2015, according to Metacritic. A custom Twitter emoji of the Master Chief — the first ever for a video game franchise — is the result of Twitter's hunt for partnerships with iconic, global brands. The buzz also extended to Twitch, where "Halo 5: Guardians" was the most streamed Xbox One exclusive game, with more than 3 million hours watched in the first week.

Just as fans are diving into "Halo 5: Guardians," professional players as young as 13 years old are also getting ready for the Halo World Championship that begins later this year. The competition will run December through March and be divided into five regions, with the best players from the U.S. 

and Canada, Europe, along with the Middle East and Africa, Greater Asia, Latin America, as well asAustralia and New Zealand coming together to battle for dominance. Due to the crowd funding enabled through the "Halo 5: Guardians" REQ System, the overall prize pool has reached $1.5 million and continues to grow daily.
