'Onrush' (ALL) Xbox One and PS4 Open Beta Starts Next Week - Screens

by Rainier on May 9, 2018 @ 8:00 a.m. PDT

With ample incentives to race with style and send your opponents to the dirt, tearing through tracks in Onrush is an exhilarating competition of speed, flare and perseverance.

It’s not just about racing to the finish line. In Onrush, racing with style and flare is what counts as you perform incredible takedowns and put everything on the line to power up your all-important Rush bar. Rush is the ultimate power up, producing an exhilarating and devastating force which, when used at the right time, can wreak havoc on your competition.

Onrush is a contact sport. Playing it safe is not an option when running the gauntlet in landscapes riddled with risk against a pack of intensely fierce competitors. Racers will have to put everything on the line when chasing the win with daring takedowns, team maneuvers and wild stunts.


The OPEN BETA goes LIVE at 2pm (UK Time) on Thursday 17th May and concludes on Sunday 20th May at midnight (UK Time) on Xbox One and PS4!

If you pre-order on PS4 HERE you can access the beta 48 HOURS EARLY! (15th May) And most importantly before any of your mates, so you can brag like mad!
