Though the December holiday season has passed it is still winter in the northern hemisphere, and video game developers continue to celebrate. Overwatch<\/em> fans can still access a winter-themed Hanamura map<\/a>, for example, and yesterday Finnish developer Bugbear Entertainment announced the launch of a Winter Fest tournament in its racing game Wreckfest<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The headlining event in Wreckfest<\/em>‘s Winter Fest tournament is “Snowball Run,” in which players can use the Power Rocket item to launch giant snowballs at their opponents, destroying their vehicles and\u00a0different set pieces around the snowy, slippery tracks, based on a short trailer released for the January 2021 update. Demolition races, demolition derbies, and time attack modes in the THQ Nordic<\/a>-published title are also winter-themed, and “top players” can earn a reward car called the Starbeast SS.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s update also fixes issues with different systems, such as Sony DualShock and DualSense controllers<\/a> not functioning properly on PC, and it adjusts gameplay and audio features. For example, Bugbear said\u00a0roof decorations will no longer “deform wildly,” and the “Ambiance” volume control in Settings will affect all track-side noises.<\/p>\n
