PlayStation Previews Destruction AllStars, Coming to PS5 in February

Destruction AllStars was originally scheduled to be a PS5 launch title, but with the team needing more development and community consensus being relatively cold, the title was pushed to February and announced as a PS Plus title.

This morning, PlayStation launched a preview page highlighting some of the features you can expect from the upcoming title.

Stars and cars collide.

Dominate the glittering global phenomenon of Destruction AllStars – the spectacular prime-time sport for dangerous drivers!

Master the art of intense vehicle-based combat through timing, tactics and skills to cause colossal amounts of damage, destruction and devastation in vibrant arenas across the globe.

Cause enough mayhem to power up your AllStars game-changing hero vehicle fueled with special abilities.

A roster of 16 blockbuster Destruction AllStars are revved up and ready to compete in the name of entertainment and demolition. So, strap in for intense, explosive and unpredictable levels of free-flowing action and fight to be crowned the Global Destruction Federation Champion.

Our Take

We believe it was the right move to move this title to February as a PS Plus addition. Given the audience and multiplayer focus, it’s important to allow as many players as possible to experience the game. This is particularly true when it’s a new IP. The game certainly has potential and we hope it lives up to it.
