Game: WRC 8

Platform: PC, PS4, Switch, XBox One

Publisher: Bigben Interactive

Release Date: 05/09/2019

A new update for WRC 8 is now available across PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One bringing a wealth of bug fixes and improvements.

WRC 8’s beefy career mode has seen a number of enhancements. One of the main improvements sees manufacturer reputation now earned after each rally instead of limited to manufacturer tryout events. This will make progressing onto higher WRC category tiers much easier.

Other career improvements include the ability to change the difficulty at the beginning of each new season, a number of balancing and career objective fixes, and the user interface sees extra polish.

Elsewhere, you’ll now receive emails from meteorologists and engineers regarding their mistakes, the drones and helicopters will take more realistic paths, and the RedBull arch has been moved a little on the Sardegna, Italy rally – we’ve hit this one a few times!

You can read the full list of patch notes below. You can also read our review for WRC 8 here.
