Wreckreation: An Open World Sandbox Racer that Lets You Build Your World, Your Way

Alyx Heather, Junior Marketing and Events Manager, THQ Nordic

Strap in and floor it—Wreckreation is the huge open-world racer where you don’t just drive the track, you drop it mid-drift. Sling loops hundreds of meters in the air, stitch ramps across canyon mouths, make it rain obstacles, traffic, and total mayhem—then blast through your own chaos at breakneck speed while your friends pile in. It’s part battle racer, part sandbox fever dream: build, race, wreck, repeat until your map is a highlight reel of near-misses, jaw-dropping stunts, and glorious slow-mo carnage.

From Tutorial to Total Mayhem

Fire up Wreckreation and you’ll first rip through an intro race to get a feel for the handling and earn your initial Wreckreation License Points—your main progression path. The intro race will showcase a skytrack with loops, turns and ramps to get you into the feel of what Wreckreation is all about. The Wreckreation License will showcase the points you have earned from races. As you progress you will earn more track pieces and cars to make your experience all the more fun. When you finish the intro race you will find yourself in a playground-style parking lot with Live Mix unlocked and several Live Mix track pieces to play around with until you decide to take to the roads.

From there, the world is your… oyster? Car graveyard? Junkyard? But a massive one because you have over 406,000 square km to explore with 454 km of roads to tear up! But whatever you do, that part’s up to you— as well as how chaotic you want it to be. Create Sky Tracks with friends, barrel around the vast world at breakneck speed, or scratch that arcade racing itch with Takedown Races and Road Rages. The choice is yours at your own pace.

What is Live Mix?

Live Mix is the real-time world editor. It lets you change the track and world while you’re driving. In Live Mix you can place track pieces on the fly. Ramps, loops, jumps, pipes, moving obstacles and many more things – anywhere, even into the sky or over the sea. You can change the worlds settings instantly: toggle the time of day, traffic density, even the weather just at the press of a button.

Live Mix also lets you edit live in shared sessions so everyone you are playing with can immediately race on what you place. With those same friends you can make Mix Modes, these are events on demand. Be it a race, stunt event or other mode, you will be able to create it and play it with your friends in your session to test out the new tracks you build together.

Build Like A Manic Mastermind

When it comes to creation, your only limit is your imagination… and, okay, the skybox. Want enough loops to induce G-force giggles? Done. Want spinning smashers, pop-up hazards, and cheeky traps that punt your crew into a smoky heap? Double done. With 400+ track pieces and objects with over 1200 variations—from giant jumps and savage drops to banked curves, hang times, and outrageous loops—no two races will ever look (or explode) the same. Show off your builds to your friends, or even collaborate and create tracks with them!

Meet the Storm

Rolling up to your freshly minted track, what will you face? The Cyclone? The Vortex? THE MAELSTROM? Why choose—throw them all in. These death-defying loops and hoops will test your driving skills to the MAX! Get your heart pounding and your palms sweaty (you’re seated, so your knees are safe), pin the throttle, and cause maximum destruction before your rivals do it to you.

Wreckreation launches October 28 on Xbox Series X|S.
