Wreckfest coming to consoles in August alongside free update for PC players

Bugbear’s online racing game Wreckfest is coming to consoles next month.

Console players will now be able to challenge others through crazy racing modes, like one involving riding mowers, when Wreckfest releases on August 27.

Wreckfest will be available on PS4 and Xbox One in both standard and deluxe versions. The digital deluxe edition will provide a 24-hour head start into the game on August 26. It will run you $59.99 or the regional equivalent.

Both versions will include the exclusive Bandit Ripper V8 racer for all who pre-order.

The Deluxe Edition also contains the Season Pass, which will grant access to 20 new cars, 20 roof decorations and additional car customization options such as armor, rims and other parts.

This new content will be released gradually after the release, along with free content updates.

When August 27 rolls around, Wreckfest players on PC should hop into the game, as a free content update will be released. It includes the following:

  • Three new tracks and one new derby arena
  • Three new challenge vehicles
  • One new reward car for finishing the career
  • New and improved career events
  • Several new paint jobs for existing vehicles
  • Additional day times for all tracks
  • More "cool stuff"

Wreckfest was released out of early access on June 14 last year.
