Drive rally stages in the 2019 WRC season, competing across 14 rallies and more than 100 special stages with a range of teams and cars.
Handle gravel, asphalt, mud, and snow as weather changes traction and visibility. Prepare for each stage by choosing tires and car setups, and use the weather forecast to plan your approach.
In Career mode, plan a calendar, recruit and manage staff, and research performance upgrades alongside racing. The game also includes weekly challenges and WRC eSports competition.
Players who enjoy WRC 8 often highlight its demanding rally driving, changing weather, and the way different stages and surfaces shape each run. Several also appreciate the career mode’s team and upgrade systems, while others find that management adds unwanted complexity. Opinions on handling vary: some describe it as engaging and technical, while others find the cars too slippery or difficult to control. Reviews also report performance stutters and unavailable online features.
