Early Access Overview
Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks enters Early Access today for a limited time as the development team prepares for the full launch later this year, marking the start of Season 1. Early Access includes:
Two game modes. In Deff Rally, 16 players race to capture points and fight to control them in succession before a sprint to the finish. Kill Konvoy features teams racing alongside formidable Stompas, battling and bombing their enemy to help ensure their Stompa reaches the finish line first.
8 vehicles to master and combine to help ensure victory
6 epic battlefields representing the vast, hostile and diverse grim-dark universe of Warhammer 40,0000
WAAAGH! Path: the core progression system that encourages players to play towards unlocking new cosmetics that are released each season, along with other items like hard currency and Scrap Boosts. An optional premium subscription - the Loot Pass - grants access to additional exclusive items.
More than 100 customization items: vehicle kits, paint jobs, rims, and more.
Early Access is just the beginning for Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks. Season 1 - the game’s first major update - will launch later this year, which will include Ork customization as a way to customize the player’s mascot-like Pit Boss. In addition, the update will add a new vehicle, a new map, and various other improvements.
To join the Early Access on Steam, users need to sign-up or log into an existing Speed Freeks Account powered by PROS, our online service for upcoming games from PLAION, Saber Interactive, Deep Silver, and more.
