Monster Truck racing hasn’t caught on in the UK as it has in the U.S. But for the fans on both sides of the pond, there’s a big free update for Monster Jam Steel Titans available now on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Monster Jam is the officially sanctioned series for freestyle and competitive monster truck events, and various licensed games have been produced since 2002. But Monster Jam Steel Titans is notable as it’s the first developed by Rainbow Studios, who are probably best known for the MX vs ATV series. So they can do off-road handling pretty well.
It’s also the first of the Monster Jam games to include open world exploration. That’s in addition to the stadium events and a variety of challnges and modes.
The first update for the game came out just after it was released in June 2019, and included various bug fixes prior to the Steel and Ice DLC in August that added new trucks to the existing car list for the game.
