Codemasters' upcoming racing video game "Onrush" is slated for a June release with the title available for pre-orders. Gamers who pre-order the game will gain early access to a beta test and cool Buggy.

Gamers can pre-order either the standard or the deluxe edition of the video game for PlayStation 4 from the PlayStation store. The standard package costs £54.99 and the deluxe edition is valued at £64.99. The latter comes with eight deluxe vehicle designs, two track tombstones, additional content for PlayStation 4, a crashtag, and the Vortex buggy. The buggy is available in both the standard and deluxe editions. There are still no new reports if a deluxe edition will be available for Xbox One.

According to the video game's description on PlayStation store, a beta test will be provided to pre-ordering customers. There are still no reports if a separate beta for Xbox One is on its way. PlayStation has yet to provide further information about the beta and on what date it will go live.

"Onrush" by Codemasters is one of the most anticipated racing video games this year. Codemasters is the video game company that brought some of the biggest racing titles to gamers like "Dirt Rally," "Grid Autosport," and "F1 2016."

"Onrush" is an action and racing video game, according to Codemasters. In the middle of racing, gamers are able to takedown their enemies with precision and aggressive driving techniques. The Rush function, which is the boost control of the game, makes "Onrush" engaging and wild.

The game allows people to go one-on-one or have team matches, with members teaming up to take down the opposing team and reach the finish line. "Onrush" will have full support for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, including 4K display.

There are still no updates about the PC version of the video game being in the works nor its release date.
