So, it stands to reason that I’m also very excited to see Wreckfest 2 heading to Xbox in the future, but for the time being it’s going to remain exclusive to PC gamers – the early access launch begins this week on March 20th, 2025.
There’s actually no Xbox release date for Wreckfest 2 as things stand, and it seems likely we’ll be waiting until 2026 to get one. That obviously comes as a disappointment to fans of the first title, but it might end up being for the best.
After all, the first Wreckfest followed a similar pattern – it launched on PC in June of 2018, and then didn’t get an Xbox version until August of 2019. That extra year of development should help developer Bugbear to not only iron out the kinks of Wreckfest 2, but also bring it out of early access and unleash its full potential on Xbox next year.
Of course, the big question remains about whether Wreckfest 2 will be an Xbox Game Pass title when it arrives on console, and considering the first one has been such a staple for the service, I’m holding out hope for the sequel. For the time being though, I might just have to buy it on Steam – after seeing what the early impressions are like this week!
