Wreckfest: Wrecknado, Reckless Car Pack, update, patch notes & more

Wreckfest is one of the most entertaining racers out there right now, and a new update is bringing fresh content to the game.

From a new DLC pack to fresh tracks and tournament modes, there is a lot to get through!

Wrecknado

Let's start with Wrecknado!

The name gives you a clue about it, but the destruction goes beyond expectations.

Wrecknado promises new tracks, unique rewards, and new challenges and is a free update.

Download it and get wrecking!

Reckless Car Pack

There is also a new car pack DLC. This is included in the Seaosn Pass 2, but if you don't have it then it will set you back £3.99.

The Gorbie, Blade, and Stepvan enter the game. The Stepvan is a classic ice cream truck and already looks like a favourite.
