Following earlier beta tests on PC, new-gen console owners will be able to sample Ivory Tower's open-world racing game when the beta launches later today. Those interested in participating can still register here.

Creative director Gerighty told Examiner: "All of our betas so far have been technical betas. They are not there for anything else except for learning how we can make the experience better when we launch.

"They are also to get feedback from the community, but it's not a marketing beta. This means that players won't be getting the full experience. It's a technical beta and you shouldn't expect everything to be unlocked and transfer to the full game."

Ivory Tower said earlier this month that it had fixed over 4,000 The Crew bugs in the space of 30 days, while making numerous modifications and improvements to the game following PC beta testing.

The Crew release date is November 11 on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360.
