- Прототип ржавого тарантаса: Наши первые впечатления от Wreckfest 2 - 5 April 2025
На протяжении всего своего существования студия Bugbear Entertainment делает игры про финский автоспорт. У нас был симулятор ралли, потом гонки на ржавых тарантасах по бездорожью и гонки на таких же тарантасах, но со взрывами в духе американского режиисера Майкла Бэя .

- Wreckfest 2 comes out in early access next month, as you can tell by this video of rusty metal making sweet, sweet crumple zone love to other rusty metal - 5 February 2025
Wreckfest 2 , the sequel to very good demolition derby racer Wreckfest , is set to arrive in PC in early access next month, no doubt in a flurry of discarded bodywork and tyres that may or may not have enough tread to pass an MOT. Read more
- Demolition King Wreckfest 2 Goes Early Access in March! - 4 February 2025

- PC Crossplay Update OUT NOW! - 22 March 2024
Howdy folks, We're thrilled to announce that Wreckfest now supports PC multiplayer crossplay. For the first time ever, you can join the same lobbies with your comrades across Steam, GOG, and Epic Game Store platforms, uniting the playerbase. So from now on, it doesn't matter where you bought the game – you can now smash and crash your way to victory with all your friends and foes! And wait, there's more. We're admittedly big fans of crashing here, but cars and of course not servers, so we've also gone and given the engine under the hood a fresh change of online oil in an effort to further improve server stability and make sure the servers can handle all the heat while you embark on your wrecking rampage on all platforms. Update now and teach your buddies from GOG and Epic Store how to bend metal!
- Yay, Steam's most realistic racing sim's finally getting actual rain, and utter online chaos may well follow - 14 February 2024
While it’s so good at simulating driving cars very fast that it actually stood in for the real thing during the Covid-19 pandemic, subscription-based racing game iRacing has long lacked a key thing that regularly affects real races - rain. Thankfully that’s not going to be a thing for much longer, and players are both excited and mildly anxious. Yes, a racing sim so realistic that it’s used for competitive Esports, and is regularly played by real drivers including actual current F1 world champion Max Verstappen , has not had any rain in it since it came out. Soon, though, that’s going to change via a big build update that’ll make a lot of players wet and also deliver some precipitation. “The Tempest weather system is ready for release and you will be racing in the rain in March,” reads iRacing’s latest development update post , which is very, very chunky and full of things.…
- Minor Update - 20 January 2023
Hello everyone, It came to our attention that the server CPU usage was increased after the previous update and after some investigation we identified the culprit - luckily it turned out to be something that was quick enough to address so we decided to release a hotfix right away so that weekend events could be saved. In addition to that aforemention fix, the server ping display in the server browser should be more reliable now. Thanks for the feedback and happy wrecking!
- Minor update - 18 January 2023
Howdy folks, Another year, another rocking Wreckfest update!

We hope that the New Year is off to a fine start for everyone!

Howdy folks, We hope everyone is doing great today! It's been a while but today we're releasing a minor update today that paves way for some exciting things. In the not-so-distant future, everyone who owns any of the PC versions of Wreckfest available at different platforms such as Steam, Epic, Xbox Game Pass and GOG will be able to join the same multiplayer servers and play online together! That time is not just yet, but today we're releasing an update that contains the technical, behind-the-scenes work that will make it possible soon. This work naturally affects multiplayer functionality, and while we don't expect any issues please don't hesitate to let us know in case you spot any oddities. In other news, this update also resolves the issue in which leaderboards often failed to load correctly after launching the game. From now on, they should be always displayed correctly so that's g…
- Introducing Solo Tournament - 6 September 2022
All the best tournament challenges are back! In case you're still missing some of the goodies from the tournament shop or just started playing, we have some great news to you: to give more players chance a chance to earn tournament points and reap the rewards, we are retiring the leaderboard based challenges and replacing them with solo challenges that will challenge you to best scores set by us. What this means in practice is that from now on you can complete tournament challenges at your own pace and earn fame to empty the tournament shop. And it's now easier too to score gold since we're pretty shoddy players so what's not to love? As usual, the challenges are rotated every day, and even the longest lasting ones rotate every two weeks, so if you want to maximize your rewards make sure to check back often. Good luck, happy wrecking and have fun!

HIGHLIGHTS New free track: Torsdalen Circuit New tournament: Racing Legends New tournament reward bundles We're excited to announce the availability of a new tournament! And it's not only the tournament, but there's new free track too! As some of you might have already guessed, the name of the track is a homage to the ever-prolific modder Tor Ole Lerbæk who is perhaps better known in the community by his alter ego Very End, whose handiwork this gorgeous rallycross style track is for the most part. The track comes in two layouts, main and short, in both forward and reverse configurations. In keeping with the spirit of the new epic track, the tournament challenge is all about racing too. We're tasking you to chase the opponents using Roadslayer GT. You probably already know the drill: the better your position the more score you earn per each meter traveled, plus you get bonus score for ea…

In the event, the better you do between each checkpoint the more time you save, but with each successive lap you're given less and less time and at the same time the taxi cabs do their best to block you from taking the perfect line. How far can you make it?
