The Crew's closed beta "a significant chunk" of the game

We chat with producer Ahmed Boukhelifa about the upcoming open world racing game.

Producer Ahmed Boukhelifa talks us through the wonderful vomit enducing contraption that powered The Crew at E3 and talks about how the alpha and soon to be unleashed beta influence development.

"We're still tweaking the content [of the upcoming beta]," says Boukhelifa. "Because actually we've been working for several months on our very secret beta, because we have to prepare. It has to work. Not only on the technical side, but also on the content side that what the player will experience will actually work."

"We're still tweaking and changing the plans, but it will be a significant chunk of the game."

Boukhelifa explained the process of adapting to player feedback began almost a year ago with the "alpha", with modes like hill climbing coming as a result of what users engaged in.

The closed beta of The Crew on PC kicks off July 23.
