My system has a Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060Ti, and with these settings applied, I get between 30 and 75 frames per second. Wreckfest 2 is still in early access, so I’m hoping the performance will improve once the game is launched in full.

Before you go about trying to play the game, though, you should make sure your PC meets its system requirements. If you’ve tried playing the game but you’ve experienced stuttering or crashes, it may be because your PC lacks the required specs. Here are the minimum and recommended system requirements for Wreckfest 2, per the developer’s suggestions.
