Wreckfest brings the carnage to PS5

More On: Wreckfest

You know, I've always wanted to play Wreckfest, THQ Nordic's smash-'em-up racer, but I've never gotten around to it. Perhaps the time is finally right, because Wreckfest is bringing all of its car-mangling goodness to PlayStation 5 on June 1st. 

Check out this list of next-gen 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

You can't ignore that last one. Those much faster loading times on PS5 are much, much faster. It's kind of ridiculous.

Wreckfest is coming to PS5 digitally and physically for $39.99. Those with the O.G. Wreckfest can upgrade to the newer version for $9.99. And before we get all upset at the cost for the upgrade, this game will be nearly three years old when the PS5 version releases. Fair is fair. Let 'em make a bit of coin on the upgrade.
