Wreckfest has carved out a nice little corner for itself on PlayStation 4. The arcade racer puts the emphasis on destruction, and it's been doing that better than most since its arrival in 2019. With regular updates keeping players engaged, there's always something new to smash into, and that's true of the latest patch as well. Update 1.90 is available now on PS4, and it adds a brand new tournament to the game.
In the new Winter Fest update, all the tracks in the game are covered in a sheet of snow, which will obviously make getting about that little bit harder. In the new Snowball Run events, you'll have to watch out for giant snowballs that will destroy your vehicle with their white powdery fury. The sideshow events like demolition derbies and time trials have had a wintry makeover too.
With the new tournament comes a new reward. Top players will be given access to the Starbeast SS, a new car for the game. The patch also includes some bug fixes and performance improvements, so you'll get the optimal Wreckfest experience to boot.

This game is a load of fun !
Played it thanks to ps now. Enjoyed it but the load times are abysmal. Will be nice if it gets a ps5 patch as I'd be interested in giving online a go to get the platinum.
Had so much fun playing Wreckfest with my partner and a few drinks (minus a few rage inducing races/targets). Will have to check this out. Wonder if the performance will improve noticeably from my old slim to PS5.
@solocapers
Load times are much improved playing on ps5 back compat from ssd. No other improvements to speak of but very much hoping a ps5 specific patch for at least 60fps, if nothing else. Played this game to death, huge fun online if you can ignore (or troll) the trolls who just like to block the track.
Is anyone else playing this on PS5 experiencing judder/motion blur?
I don't know what's changed since last week but, via my PS5 this is a judder-fest of late.
Nothing in my set-up has changed so I'm at a bit of a loss.
@MrCynical My pet hate is the twonks that deliberately drive straight on at a corner with the sole intention of taking you out with maximum damage, just because they can't drive.
Great game but man did those sofa races make my blood boil!
Yes!. I'm running home to get the patch. I haven't played in a while though. Is this tournament online only?
@Woogy
I don't necessarily mind that, as it is a banger race game. I race fair with no deliberate contact until someone does that, then all bets are off 😁. Its part of the fun.
It's the twonks in the racing servers parking on corners or driving the wrong way head on just for 'fun' that spoil it a little bit. When it gets too much non-racing, I just jump to another server.
@jorel262
Tournament stuff is all single player v bots with online scoreboards for rankings, and the fame points you earn can be used to buy some special vehicles and cosmetic item packs.
So if I only want to do single player, no online multiplayer, is there a lot of content here?
It looks like there are seasons for sale as add-ons - how much is in just the base game, and are the seasons for online or single player (or both)?
@MrCynical Thanks! Checked it out last night and had a blast. I wish I would have done the other tournaments.
I just bought this real cheap along with a bunch of other games.
Really looking forward to playing it.
