Sydney, Australia, March 6th 2026: Wreckfest 2 is back with its biggest Early Access update yet! Two new tracks provide the perfect opportunity to test not one, not two, but three brand-new vehicles. And while the American Muscle car and the Japanese coupe, let’s just call it the Tiny Thing, are great additions, they’re not quite as special as… drumroll… the school bus! Yep, that’s right: Wreckfest 2 isn’t just known for the wildest car destruction in video games ever, but also for the craziest vehicles. That’s why the bus is back.
The two new tracks couldn’t be more different. First, in “Waypoint Race,” Wreckfest 2 introduces a new type of map to the franchise. Instead of racing laps around a compact circuit, this course takes place in a desolate canyon and lets players race from start to finish — if they can make it. And Track #2, Dalsbanen, is a rallycross track designed for hardcore racers, weaving through green fields, majestic trees, and peaceful ponds.
On the feature side, the first iteration of the car upgrade system has been implemented, letting players modify their cars, add better parts, and tune their rides to match their preferences. This initial version includes engine parts, gearboxes, suspensions, differentials, and many more — and with even more upgrades coming in future updates.
Because Wreckfest 2 is all about the authentic look and feel of banger racing, cars now accumulate dirt and grime as races go on, picking up debris from every surface — so when you cross the finish line, your car will look like it’s survived a true battle.

Features:
Unmatched racing experience
- Brace yourself for the most phenomenal full-contact racing action with no rules, just jaw-dropping moments of chaos and destruction, powered by the overhauled physics engine. Race in intense head-to-head fights on courses featuring high-speed circuits, crazy courses with obstacles & jumps, intersections and oncoming traffic, or go for demolition domination in derby mode.
- – More and more tracks & arenas will be added during the Early Access phase –
Awesome & customisable cars
- Forget pristine supercars: Our cars are old, dented and patched together. Each of them tells a story, and you can tell your own by customising your ride. Over the course of early access, more and more customisation options will be added to the game. They will not only unlock your creative desires, but also contain new armour and component types that support certain playstyles.
- – Later during Early Access, you can also share your designs with other racers and wreckers! –
Fully revamped game modes
- Launching into early access with the base game modes of Racing, Derby and multiplayer mode. During the Early Access phase, we will add a completely revamped career mode that adapts to your individual playstyle and guides you on your journey to become a true champion! For online racers, there will be a new skill-based matchmaking system and server queues coming as well!
Challenges
- Another highlight during the Early Access phase will be special challenges, putting you behind the steering wheel of unconventional vehicles that were definitely never supposed to end up on a racetrack! Various bite-sized scenarios will keep you hooked as you battle for the highest scores.
Mod Support
- During the Early Access phase, mod support will be added so you can really mess with this game by installing various mods from the Steam Workshop.
