Wreckreation: Game Details

Build, Race, Wreck—Instantly

What sets Wreckreation apart is the revolutionary Live Mix system. Players can reshape their surroundings at any time by dropping loops, ramps, jumps, half pipes, and moving obstacles anywhere on the map—no mode switching required. Weather, time of day, and traffic conditions can be changed on the fly, letting you design race conditions and stunt challenges without ever leaving the game world.

Have an idea mid-drift? Press a button and add a ramp right there. Want to make the track trickier for competitors? Drop obstacles instantly. Car feeling too familiar? Access the menu and switch vehicles mid-stunt. This seamless integration of racing and building transforms Wreckreation into “the kind of game where you’ll make your own fun,” according to early impressions.

Customize Everything

Over 50 vehicles are available from the start, with full customization: paint colors, finishes, wheels, boost flames, engine sounds, glass colors, tires, transmission—everything unlocked immediately. The game features 16 FM radio channels plus direct Spotify playlist streaming for your ultimate racing soundtrack.

Players can set records seven different ways on every road: Drift, Air, Near Miss, Stunt, Crash, and the traditional Time. Vacant lots scattered throughout the kingdom offer opportunities to build structures that extend beyond their physical footprint.
