While the PlayStation 5 release schedule may look a little light, barely a day goes by without a game announcement. Monster Truck Championship is the latest to set its sights on a next-gen launch, with the big-wheeled simulation racer running over Sony’s next-gen console from 11th March. This one launched on the PlayStation 4 last year and is technically playable through backwards compatibility, but its upgrade will run in 4K at 60 frames-per-second.
“In Monster Truck Championship, you take the wheel of one of 16 vehicles and enter five types of event,” the blurb reads. “In these championships, you will compete in 25 stadiums and circuits in various cities across the United States. Taking a realistic approach to driving rather than an arcade-game style, Monster Truck Championship gives players the chance to take part in frenzied races and pull off believable aerial and ground moves by learning the unique physics of these vehicles.”
There’s no PS4 to PS5 upgrade available here, so if you already own the game then you’ll have to pod out again for the next-gen version. There’s no gameplay trailer just yet either, but you can check out a batch of screenshots within this article – looks nice.

My kid will love this. On a side note, anyone got any good suggestions of games to pick up? Feeling the lockdown burn at the minute and fancy getting lost in something. Problem is i just dont know what.
I will never understand no upgrade decisions. In this new gaming world - it’s a PR nightmare and never ends well. Even worse for a niche game like this. Support your fan base and they will support you.
@Weebleman What kind of games are you into genre wise?
@achangedyou honestly im open to anything. Well, except fifa or cod 😂
@Weebleman I hear ya on that one! Well it depends on what you like. I just played Cyber Shadow on the PS5 pretty solid game. Addictive but hard. Have you played FF7 remake yet?
@achangedyou I have not and, being honest, id forgotten all about it. I will pick that up right now. Cheers pal, appreciated more than you know.
I bought this game on PC (3440x1440@100Hz). Enjoyed it a lot but the support to feedback was slow and only resulted in one patch (I think).
The patch didn't seem to resolve my biggest niggle which was behaviour of the truck under power, when pulling off wheelies. it will often get stuck pointing up and putting it into reverse when balanced doesn't bring the nose down as it should. Otherwise a decent game but a bit shallow in terms of content and sadly not popular enough to be able to play online - I only ever managed to get an online match once I think! Maybe one to consider when on sale if launch price is similar to other new releases...
@Weebleman No problem my fellow gamer
@get2sammyb - did you get the paid upgrade from them? Other places saying free but I can’t find anything definitive
