The racing game by Bugbear Entertainment, Wreckfest, just received a major update. It brings a new tournament called Winter Fest along with a free car, Starbeast SS. A new event called Snowball Run is also available. As usual, the patch fixes several bugs that are still hiding somewhere in the game. Check out the trailer below.
The update improved the handling of Speedie and fixed the issue of small special vehicles not taking heavy damage from minor stunts and roof decoration deformation. Both DualShock and DualSense controllers will now work as intended and the audio bug of the Rebel Rat engine has been resolved.
