Howdy Runners,

The Fog's been thick lately, and plenty of you have been foolhardy enough to jump straight into it.

Since the playtest kicked off, Wreck Runners has hit an all-time peak of over 300 concurrent players, and more than 25,000 of you signed up to playtest. Seeing so many crews roll into the Triangle, and occasionally make it out in one piece has meant a lot to us. We want to take the time to thank each and every one of you for jumping in and making this playtest what it's been so far!

We've also had some incredible coverage from creators - Like Streams from TheMrSark and CRREAM and short-form videos from Mildsoss and kaimlive!

Bug Fixes & Updates (hotfix already live)
