Wreckfest is now 60FPS on XSX

KyoZz

Tag, you're it.
Posted just now on the official Discord:

1. Will the PS5 version have all previous patches?
 Yes, all previous patches are included.

2. Will the PS5 version come with all Season Pass content or will it be available separately?
 The Season Pass content will be available separately.

3. What if I own both Season Passes on PS4 and upgrade?
 Then you'll get both Season Passes for free on PS5 after your upgrade.

4. What happens to my progression if I upgrade from PS4 to PS5?
 We don’t have a solution for this right now but we are actively looking into options for this.

5. Will I be able to earn new/old achievements?
 Yes, you will be able to earn the same achievements like on PS4.

6. Will I be able to play with my friends on PS4?
 Yes this is possible, however the 24 player servers are exclusive to PS5.

7. Why do I have to pay for the upgrade?
 Because the PS5 version isn't just an "60 FPS" patch for the old game, it contains new data, new textures, new effects etc and also has full support for the PS5 DualSense controller.

8. What about the Xbox Serie S|X version?
 A similar Xbox Series S|X native version will launch later this year, also charged if you want to upgrade.

9. When do PC get these upgrades as well otherwise they are covering what we are seeing as well.
 The PC version will be upgraded later in 2021.


Fuck this exclusivity thing.

Surprised PC getting shafted so hard. But I can see why they would release for PS before Xbox, bigger console base.

Exclusivity for patches now?, jesus.
Also nice to see them support PC, or not in this case. The platform that supported the game while it was in Early Access for 27 years.

Double ooof!

Xbox players get an update to 4k60fps for nothing, but no enhanced effects (it’s effectively an unlocked Xbox one version).

PS players get a proper next gen version with enhancements, but have to pay an additional 10 quid for it?

I *think* I would rather be an Xbox player here (but I’m a tight Scotsman). Great game, but I have already paid for it thanks.
Having the option of the free 60fps or full patch for 10 dollars would be a good solution. I personaly would pay the 10 bucks since this is one of the best arcade racers out there and a next gen version can be nice. In Dirt 5 and WRC 9 on PS5 the loading is fast and the Dualsense suport make the games better to play.

I have purchased the game on xbox already, and enjoy the free update clearly. But overall, I would rather pay the $10 for the upgrade with the other graphics enhancements than just the fos unlock for free. Hopefully bugbear is reading, you have my money if you do the xbox too...

Do I remember this right thought, was wreckfest on ps plus, maybe I have it there too......

I’ve just seen that the XSS/X is getting the next gen patch later this year, so at least Xbox players will get the choice.

I’ve completed career mode already, and don’t really do the MP, so unlikely to buy.

Amazing game though, and thoroughly recommend to anybody who has yet to experience it.

There is no next gen version yet. The first proper next gen patch comes out in June.

Ok so Wreckfest PS5 gets the "next generation patch" this June. Will wait closer to release to grab it. I have it on PC and it's a blast. Looking forward to see
how the PS5 version stacks up against it.

So other platforms soon


My experience on Series X with the 60fps is enough for me. A $10 upgrade wont change all the fun and laughter i have had with this as it currently stands. Good to have the option though for those that want it

Wasn’t this game claimable on PS+?

I would've never tried this game out if it wasn't for gamepass. What a fun title! Gives me all the vibes from Psygnosis Destruction Derby!

Your blatant troll post aged pretty badly dude. Sad.
You're right. It should definitely say 'If you want to play Wreckfest at 60fps on console FOR FREE, there is a system for that.'

I'm sure @ManaByte will correct. :)

No, but I think it's likely to appear in PS+. Control also has a paid next-gen version, but the problem was (partially) avoided by making it a PS+ title.

After the final fantasy remake crap I don’t think free updates apply anymore to games free on ps plus

control would of been the only exception but that was probably part of the epic cash bag deal

I guess there was a good reason to put it on GamePass, but meh, as much as I hate this situation. I payed 50USD (without sale) for it (normally games cost easily 80 bucks here), that 10 USD on top is not a big deal.

Control on the other hand, as much as it is game of the whole last gen, I didn't buy the UE. Because I bought OG game + season pass and they showed me middle finger. So fuck 505.

Small difference between 'effectively free' and 'free'.
I agree. So incredibly, infinitesimally small as to not be worth acknowledging. So let's just agree, I'm playing Wreckfest at 60fps for free.

Magnificent.

A mate has recently got a free Xbox Series X using 'Xbox All Access'.

He wanted to pay £30 a month for something, could have been anything at all.

So was effectively free.

I find arguments are most effective if they make sense. If the above is all you've got, might be best to admit I'm right and move on.

Why am I not surprised that you're confused by that.

It took you a few posts to acknowledge that your definition of free isn't free, in any way shape or form, after all.

Nevermind.

Split hairs all you like. I have an existing subscription for the games that were already on the service. Games outside that are cream on the cake. Apparently that causes you some discomfort, well good news, you too can enjoy the benefits of Gamepass, you just need the right hardware.

I played Wreckfest for FREE. Nearly finished it, was awesome btw. Now onto Outriders, hopefully this FREE game will be just as much fun.

Enjoy paying full price on PS. I'm sure that's better...somehow.

Appreciate the concern but I actually have an Xbox Series X (You can check my post history, it will check out) and capable of playing it for 'free'.

Didn't realise someone correcting some of your bullshit will trigger you so much.. especially since you admitted I was right after all. Must be a sensitive soul.

I hope you enjoyed the lesson on what's free and what's not.

They don't have a solution yet for transferring progress to PS5? They better sort it out, I'd be pissed. No way I unlock all the cars again to get that multiplayer glory.

Not that it’s any of my business (just being a nosey bugger as I have you down as a 100% pure Sony fanboy to be ignored), but nobody can check your post history as its locked down.

I mean, if you’re gonna invite folk to spy on you, then make sure they can. Stop being a prick tease. 😂

That's all extremely interesting, my man.

But you can still see all history by searching against a user. That's not difficult to do either.

Here we go again. More waiting.

I was just starting to enjoy Wreckfest at 60fps on consoles, played a ton on PC already, started when it was early access as next car game, but I started over on console. And now they’re teasing a proper nextgen version for $10, but can’t promise that your progression from the old version stays intact.

So now what? Should I stop playing on console for now? Maybe wait for the PC update? Or is your progression lost there too? I don’t know how to react here or what version to wait for or if it’s worth waiting for.

I am fairly certain that you at least going to have different Store id, so there bound to be some issues. Because at payed terms, it cannot be Smart Delivery for example.
