This page exists to answer one practical question: where and how to buy Wreckfest today. Bugbear Entertainment's demolition derby racing game left Early Access in 2018, so buying Wreckfest now means buying the finished, supported release — not backing an unfinished build. Below is a plain rundown of the platforms it ships on, what the Steam edition covers versus the console releases, and a short note on why this URL used to be a pre-order landing page rather than a buying guide.
Where to Buy Wreckfest Today
Steam (PC)
The Steam edition is the platform Wreckfest was built and sold on from its earliest Early Access builds through its 2018 1.0 launch, and it remains the most direct way to buy Wreckfest on PC. It is also the storefront where most of the game's regular discount periods happen, so anyone tracking the Wreckfest Steam price is best served checking the store page directly rather than relying on an older cached figure.
View on SteamPlayStation
Wreckfest also shipped on PlayStation after its PC release, bringing the same demolition derby damage engine to consoles. Coverage from the time is not consistent on the exact month the console versions arrived, so this archive states only that it followed the PC launch rather than guessing a specific date.
Xbox
An Xbox release followed the same pattern as the PlayStation version. Buying Wreckfest on either console gets the full game rather than a scaled-down port, which is worth knowing given how many demolition-derby-style games trim content between platforms.
Wreckfest Steam Edition and Price Notes
Games with a multi-year Early Access run like Wreckfest typically end up with a small handful of Wreckfest editions rather than just one box: a standalone base game, sometimes a bundle that folds in cosmetic or car-pack downloadable content, and occasionally a complete edition that rolls the base game and its DLC together at a single price. That general pattern applies here — the Steam edition page is the reliable place to see which of those Wreckfest editions is currently being sold, since DLC lineups and bundle contents shift more often than the core game does.
This archive does not publish a specific price figure for Wreckfest, deliberately. Steam pricing moves with regional storefronts, currency, and frequent sale periods, so any number printed here would go stale within weeks. What stays true over time is the shape of the offer: a Steam edition of the base game, with additional content sold either separately or folded into a bundle depending on the current storefront listing.
If the goal is simply to buy Wreckfest at the lowest reasonable cost, the practical advice is the same one that applied during Early Access: wait for a Steam sale period rather than buying at full Wreckfest Steam price the day a new bundle appears.
Why This Page Used to Be a Pre-Order Campaign
In October 2013, this URL was part of Bugbear Entertainment's original pre-order campaign for what was then called Next Car Game — a working title for the project that would later become Wreckfest. At launch, the campaign had gathered just over 3,000 pre-orders through the official site. A free playable technology demo released that December, showing off the game's soft-body vehicle damage engine for the first time, went viral on video platforms and is credited with pushing pre-orders past 10,000 ahead of the first Steam Early Access build.
That pre-order period ended once the game moved into, and eventually out of, Steam Early Access — Wreckfest reached its full 1.0 release in 2018. There is nothing left to pre-order: the game exists, ships, and is supported today, so this page's job changed from selling a promise to explaining how to buy Wreckfest as a finished product.
Buying Wreckfest: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still pre-order Wreckfest?
No. The pre-order campaign that once lived at this URL closed years ago, back when the game was still called Next Car Game. Wreckfest has been fully released since 2018, so today you buy the finished game outright rather than pre-ordering it.
What is the Wreckfest Steam price right now?
This archive doesn't quote a fixed number because Steam pricing changes by region and by sale period. Checking the Steam edition's own store page is the only reliable way to see the current price and whether a discount is active.
Is Wreckfest available on consoles, not just Steam?
Yes — beyond the Steam edition on PC, Wreckfest also released on PlayStation and Xbox, following its initial PC launch. All platforms carry the full game.
Are there different Wreckfest editions to choose between?
Sometimes. Depending on the current storefront listing, Wreckfest editions can include the standalone base game and a bundle that adds car-pack or cosmetic DLC. The Steam edition page always reflects whatever lineup is active.
