Wheels Off, Chaos On: Wreckfest 2 Smashes into Early Access!
Vienna, Austria / Helsinki, Finland, March 20th, 2025: Ladies and Gentlemen, the next generation of demolition derby madness is here. Wreckfest 2 is crashing into Early Access on Steam today, bringing next-level car destruction, slicker graphics, improved physics, and a whole lot of new features to fuel your inner petrolhead. And yes, it’s once again developed by Bugbear Entertainment – the masters of metal-mangling mayhem.
Just like its predecessor, Wreckfest 2 will keep evolving throughout Early Access, with fresh content and features rolling in regularly. Bugbear and THQ Nordic are all about making this a game for the players, shaped by the players. We want your feedback – tell us what you love, what you want more of, and what crazy ideas we absolutely need to implement. We’ve got a truckload of ideas (and an actual truck), but we want to hear which ones you like the most!

Now, a fair warning: don’t expect Wreckfest 2’s Early Access version to be as jam-packed with content as Wreckfest 1 after nearly a decade of updates, patches, and DLCs. This is just the beginning of an epic ride, and the game will grow with regular updates, guided by our living roadmap - powered by you.
To reflect this evolving journey, Wreckfest 2 is launching at an introductory SRP of $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99, with a 20% launch discount for the first two weeks (until April 3, 2025), making it an even sweeter deal. As development progresses and major updates roll out, the SRP will gradually increase until the full 1.0 release on PC and consoles.
