The Crew 2 - New Gold Edition / Old Gold Edition is missing content

Hey!

The Crew 2 gets regular updates. And that's a good thing! However, there seems to be a mistake here, or I hope there is.

Please hide the fact that I have Ubisoft+.

I bought the old Gold Edition a while ago. The content is as follows:

Now, a new Gold Edition has been released, with this content:

In order to access this (actually The Crew 2 Digital Special Paket), I would have to buy the stuff again.

Without Ubisoft+, I wouldn't have access to it.

Is it really the case that owners of the old Gold Edition can't access it, or is it a mistake?

This is especially important as there will be more updates in the future.

Hallo, selbes Problem hier. Ich habe die Gold Edition 2021 gekauft. Und jetzt soll ich sie wieder kaufen? Ich hoffe, das ist ein Bug.

Hy,

same problem here.

I bought the Gold Edition in May 2021. And now should I buy it again?

I hope this is a bug.

If the Digital Special Package costs a little extra then so be it.

But I can't buy it because I supposedly don't have the basic game.

Hi @CheekyBoinc and all others,

As far as I can see now the "old" Gold edition is the same as the new Gold edition minus the small Digital Special Pack which containes: DODGE CHALLENGER SRT® DEMON Interception Unit, PORSCHE 911 SPEEDSTER

Just started the Crew 2 on my Chromecast and noticed the new coverart and checked out the cars I have.
I am having the Dodge Challenger SRT DEMON interception Unit but unlocked that in some kind of event.
So yeah I am missing the Porsche 911 SPEEDSTER and that is about it.

Looks like Ubisoft created a new Gold edition with Season 3 to get new players in with the Digital Special Pack.
So no worries, no you don't have to buy the game again but you could be missing out on 2 cars.

Stadia is robbing us blind. There's no other platform where a game released as the Gold version gets downgraded and another Gold version gets released. I bought the Gold version in 2020. On my purchase it even shows the Gold version picture. Now in my library, my picture shows as the regular version and I have the Season pass... it's a joke. 

The worst part is, nobody who works for Google on this forum is going to answer the question of what exactly happened here. They're pulling a fast one on us, and laughing about it.

This was my Purchase, and it has the Gold game cover that USED to show in my Library:

This is how it shows in my library now

Even on the game page itself, they are showing 2 Gold Editions... how stupid is that?

Maybe I'm wrong and they're not robbing us.... but they sure are doing stuff to make it FEEL like they're robbing us.

Hi @Xevioso,

You are getting all the content related to the Gold edition within the game. The cover art is going to be the same for everyone.

So no matter what version you are owning the cover art in the library is all the same. But in the game itself you will have all the related content.

In the player menu for example it will show season pass owner. And the extra cars are there for you to ride with. So all should be just fine. :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Must admit it is a bit confusing, I had the same "issue" with the NBA 2k cover art showing the default one.

@RXShorty that's the same thing Google is going to say. It's not going to make me stop asking how you have two gold versions of the SAME **bleep** GAME! :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::face_with_tears_of_joy: That's true madness, like they're really just saying they will do whatever they want and they don't care if it's ridiculous. I think that's wrong, I'm always going to think it's wrong, because like you said, it's confusing. And confusing is best-case scenario. Worst case, they're actually cheating people out of content... How can we prove it if they're just switching things around whenever they feel like it. But even if it's JUST confusing, you would think somebody at Google would say... "Hmmm... Maybe we don't want to confuse our customers." But nope, instead they're in meetings like "Dude! Let's release another Gold Edition of The Crew 2! And let's also keep the existing gold Edition! Just to mess with people!" :face_with_tears_of_joy::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::face_with_tears_of_joy:

@Xevioso 

They are not stealing anything, you have the same content, only the digital pack is missing as  @RXShorty it says

You can purchase the discounted version if you are interested in the pack.

It is like the duplicate of the pre-order version or buying an ultimate version of a standard game that they gave away in PRO and it shows in their library as "claimed" and not "purchased"

Or put all versions of a game in releases or in the list of all games.

This is what Google does to fatten the application of content.

Ridiculous.... yes, but they are not steal you, they are just disorganized ppl.

Wenn man die The Crew2 Gold Edition kauft und nach dem Update dann eine neu Gold Edition auftaucht in den neuen Inhalten verfügbar sind, aber nicht in der man schon gekauft hat, sehe ich dies als Fehler Seitens Stadia.

Der Support von Ubisoft findet von seiner Seite keine Fehler. Sie Bild:

It is interesting that no solution is offered here and that there is no reasonable explanation.

This is frighteningly reminiscent of the Outriders disaster or Dirt 5.
It's the same in Dirt 5. 2 Year One Editions where customers of the original Year One Edition don't get the Year One content :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Absurd, isn't it? Both editions cost 90€.

For weeks the leaderboards don't work and since release there are freezes in 4K which make the game unplayable.

Back to topic:

2 Gold Editions and users of the old ones don't get the new content. Furthermore, there is no solution for buyers of the old Gold Edition. But everyone paid the same.

Same Probleme here, bought the old Gold Edition and now there is a new one!

Please fix your Store Front ASAP, this is not acceptable!

Hi @CheekyBoinc,

I am afraid there is not much we can do over here at the community forum.
This is a Ubisoft thing, I think to attract more new players to buy the new Gold edition.
So the best thing I can advice you to do is reach out to Ubisoft.
Sorry I cannot be much more of a help here. :face_with_rolling_eyes:
