Wreckfest
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
PS5Full 4K resolution with upgraded colour grading, extended shadow draw distance, dense foliage, and light shafts, but lacks anti-aliasing.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 4 Pro
PS4 Pro offers solid 30fps performance. While 1080p output provides a stable image, selecting 4K output engages an 1800p checkerboard mode that suffers from severe combing artefacts and image instability.
1080p Mode
PS4 ProRenders at 1080p without anti-aliasing when output resolution is set to 1080p.
4K Checkerboard Mode
PS4 ProUses checkerboard rendering to 1800p, but suffers from severe combing artefacts and frame jumping.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 4
Base PS4 delivers an essentially locked 30fps at 1080p. Image quality is identical to other last-gen consoles, lacking anti-aliasing but maintaining solid performance during gameplay.
Standard Mode
PS4Runs at 1080p without anti-aliasing.
Known issues
When PS4 Pro is set to 4K output, 1800p checkerboard reconstruction produces severe combing artefacts and frame jumping, making image reconstruction essentially non-functional.
