It does, but it's still a bit of a pain to all get into a race. It is more simple and easier to join eachother. At least that was my experience.

Does this one actually let you join each other? We all bought The Crew 1 back in the day but anyone who connected to someone else game got disconnected shortly after and we all stopped playing then tried to refund. Not saying the game sucked just the multiplayer was not functional for us on original The Crew.
