Wreckfest 2 on PS5 and Xbox, “just a few more laps to the finish line”

There was a THQ Nordic showcase premiere recently, with Wreckfest 2 touted pre-event to be one of the titles showcased.

And it was, but without much fanfare. A new trailer simply recapped past early access updates. There were no future update teasers, sadly.

However, there was one minuscule crumb of information, teasing those on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Following a few sentences about the game’s progress since early access PC release in February 2025 (wow, time flies!), there’s the following in the publisher’s press release:

“And yes, once we’re ready, we’ll talk about the console release – just a few more laps to the finish line!”

Over the past 18 months, there have been eight major content updates for the embryonic smash-a-thon.

These have included further tracks, vehicles, the CRAP-IT customisation tool and tweaks to online multiplayer, although a single-player career or campaign remains absent presently.

There’s no set cadence to the recent updates, each major patch arriving between one month and three months apart so far.

The last roadmap was published in February 2026.

“Just a few more laps to the finish line” could be interpreted as a relatively close Version 1.0 launch.

There’s little doubting the increased visual fidelity, refined vehicle dynamics and more detailed damage systems compared to the original. The fundamentals feel close to completion already.

As it’s still in early access, we’re looking forward to seeing the console versions plus the fully fleshed-out tuning and progression systems.
