The Crew website announces that closed beta testing of the Windows edition of The Crew kicks off on Monday, and will run until Friday, outlining the subset of the features of the driving action game the test will include. Here's a bit:

Since we’ve announced THE CREW last year, we’ve received many messages from players around the world, eager to get their hands on the game! We’ve heard you loud and clear, and as we can’t wait for you to play, we announce you that our PC Closed Beta will be starting earlier than what we first announced. Get ready to play from Monday 21st of July to Friday 25th.

As you know, we’ve been focused on delivering a bold new take on the driving genre: a massive persistent world loaded with exciting driving challenges, iconic places, amazing cars - and best of all, a world filled with friends to crew up with or rivals to compete against.
