Ubisoft will be switching on the servers for its racing MMO, The Crew, one day ahead of the official launch.

The publisher has confirmed to Videogamer that servers will go live at 11:01am GMT on Monday, December 1.

Being an MMO, you won’t be able to play The Crew without connecting to the servers, so it’s nice to see Ubisoft allowing those with early copies access to the game. It also helps that not everyone will be trying to fight their way in on launch day.

The Crew launches December 2, but don’t expect any reviews to pop up until the end of the week at the earliest, seeing as how Ubisoft decided not to send review copies early.
