Wreckfest — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Wreckfest scales effectively across PlayStation consoles, preserving its signature vehicle destruction physics on all hardware. PS4 and PS4 Pro deliver a reliable 30fps at 1080p, though PS4 Pro's 1800p 4K checkerboard output is plagued by heavy combing artefacts and frame jitter. PS5 delivers the optimal console experience, pushing frame rates to a flawless, locked 60fps at native 4K resolution alongside upgraded shadow distances, foliage density, and lighting effects.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
Wreckfest runs at a locked 60fps on PS5 at full 4K resolution. The current-gen release features enhanced foliage density, deeper shadow draw distances, bloom, and revised colour grading, though aliasing remains visible due to the lack of AA.
Standard Mode
PS5UnverifiedFull 4K resolution with upgraded colour grading, extended shadow draw distance, dense foliage, and light shafts, but lacks anti-aliasing.
