Ubisoft has explained why The Crew won't be released on PS3.

Earlier this week the publisher announced that the previously confirmed Xbox One, PS4 and PC editions of the open-world driving game would be joined by an Xbox 360 version.

Explaining the game's no-show on PS3, a Ubisoft representative told Polygon: "The Crew was originally built for the new generation of consoles, so when we made the decision to port it to the previous generation, we decided to focus solely on the platform closest to the new-gen's technical infrastructure, which is the Xbox 360. We are not currently working on a version for PS3."

While the new-gen and PC versions of the game are being developed by Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections, Fuel developer Asobo Studio is handling the Xbox 360 edition.


Ubisoft said: "We're excited to bring The Crew's same core features, massive scope, mission variety, and overall driving experience to Xbox 360 players."

Following a PC The Crew beta in July, a console beta is planned for the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game in late September, with "a limited number of players" set to be invited to take part.

Ubisoft is planning a simultaneous The Crew release date of November 11 on all platforms.
