Wreckfest werd door zowel de pers als gamers goed ontvangen, alleen vonden de spelers met een PlayStation 4 Pro het jammer dat de game er op hun console er niet mooier uitzag. Er is nu een nieuwe patch beschikbaar die dit doet veranderen. Na het downloaden en installeren is Wreckfest in 4K te spelen op de PS4 Pro.

Buiten dat de game op een hogere resolutie draait op de ‘opgevoerde’ PlayStation 4, is er nog meer wat de patch met zich meebrengt. Er worden ook twee nieuwe parkoersen toegevoegd en private lobbies aan het online gedeelte. Daarnaast worden er ook wat bugs en foutjes aangepakt. De volledige lijst met wat de nieuwe patch allemaal doet is als volgt:

Highlights

  • Added two new tracks: Drytown Desert and Rockfield Roughspot.
  • Added support for player-created private lobbies.
  • Optimized loading times.
  • Added support for switching region (region unlock).
  • On PS4 Pro and Xbox One X the game is now rendered in 4K resolution (PC had that one already).

Gameplay

  • Added a third damage mode: Intense. This is same as the “Realistic” with which the console versions launched; in other words, “Realistic” with attacker’s advantage enabled.
  • Improved AI raceline on various tracks.
  • Taking the loop on “Deathloop” no longer causes damage to the car.
  • Added an AI Set for Limo.

  • In career heat races, event specific loading screen is now displayed also between the heats.
  • In Custom Event, the correct AI Set is now displayed after changing the vehicle.
  • HUD can no longer appear in the main menu after being disconnected from an online session.

Multiplayer

  • Improved local car prediction precision to reduce input lag.
  • Reduced warping of remote cars when playing with high latency.
  • In lobby, the server name no longer overlaps the track name at the top.
  • Lobby options are no longer incorrectly grayed out in case the user is in the Tune screen when a track change occurs.
