Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Bugbear Entertainment will release a PlayStation 5 version of Wreckest on June 1 for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99, the publisher announced. Users who own the PlayStation 4 version will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version of $9.99 / €9.99.

Here is an overview of the PlayStation 5 version, via THQ Nordic:

The PlayStation 5 version offers the best Wreckfest experience on consoles ever and takes full advantage of the PlayStation 5's hardware power. Not only does the new version offer enhanced visuals such as dynamic dirt on vehicles, better textures, and improved visual effects. Additionally, it also runs with a wonderful 4K resolution at a smooth 60 frames per second. The multiplayer features 24 players now, for even more intense carnage on the race tracks.

Here is an overview of the added enhancements:

  • Dynamic dirt on vehicles
  • Improved shadows, particles, and environment lighting
  • Higher resolution textures
  • Increased amount of foliage
  • Godrays
  • New visual effects for skidmarks
  • DualSense haptic effects
  • Much faster loading times

Wreckfest is genuinely one of the best racing games out there - even as a die-hard sim fanatic the driving model is damn good fun, it's just a perfect fun little racing game. We're somewhat starved of good arcade racers, this is one of them.

I bought it in Early Access like back in 2015 or 2016 or something and completely forgot about it. I think I'll give it an install and see what it's all about.

It was fucking terrible for a long time tbh. I did the same, bought it, progress stalled, gave up on it, and then it magically became brilliant. I have no such hopes of redemption for most of the early access shit I've bought over the years - Godus and Project Zomboid being the two most notable fuckups.

It just looks really boring to me whenever I watch videos, I want to like a new destruction derby type game but it comes across so uninteresting to me.
