    So you can add new weathers but we still have to wait for wet-but-not-raining and snowy-but-not-snowing to appear naturally? Weak.

    Excited for all the new cop vehicles. I dont know if its possible but can we get a sound update for the cars? Many of them are so inaccurate and a lot are just given the same sound as other cars. Not hating on the game just a suggestion. Sound in car games make the experience much better. Please update

    Fixing turbo sounds? Nah, that would be fixing old and already sold content. Not much money in this.

    Dear crew 2 team, Thank you for an interesting update. However, I have stopped playing this game because I got annoyed by the 30fps caps. Now that next generation consoles are here I would love to revisit the game if a 60fps option becomes available on ps5.
