Wreckfest’s Super Truck Showdown Tournament update is here

Wreckfest is the game that keeps on giving. Today, the new remastered PS5 version became available to PlayStation Plus subscribers and now there’s a fresh update to boot. It includes a new Tournament, a new free track for everyone and a new paid DLC pack.

Wreckfest Sandstorm PS5

The Off-Road Car Park is available now for $3.99/£3.29 and includes three new vehicles. The Sandstorm looks like some sort of Baja 1000 competitor, the Trophy Runner some sort of modified pick-up truck and the Trooper a race version of a classic Jeep.

Of course, this is Wreckfest, which means zero licences but a sense of fun and the incredible damage modelling, so feel free to smash these up in-game. If you have the Season Pass 2, this new pack is no additional charge.

The dirt racing theme is continued with the new Rattlesnake Racepark track. The new venue has a super truck racing vibe, with big jumps and tortuous turns – a perfect fit for the game. It has two layouts, forward and reverse.

Alongside the free track and paid DLC is an update to the game’s Tournament mode, where new daily, weekly and monthly challenges will appear, mainly utilising the new content and allowing you to earn additional fame.

To wrap up, there have been some performance balancing tweaks to certain vehicles, changes to how the Hammerhead RS – which arrived in March – receives damage and a host of other small changes which we’ve listed below.

For now, though, it’s time to boot up the game, and for those lucky PS5 owners, with the enhanced lighting. More on that, very soon.
