WRC 10, also known as WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship, is a

racing video game developed by French developer Kylotonn and published by Nacon. It is a sequel to WRC 9 and is the official game of the 2021 World Rally Championship. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in September 2021, with the Nintendo Switch
version released in March 2022.

Development and release

WRC 10 was revealed in April 2021 as the official video game of the

Lancia Delta Group A, Citroën Xsara WRC.[2] The game was released worldwide on September 2, 2021, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, followed by a Nintendo Switch port in March 2022.[3]

Reception

WRC 10 received "generally favorable" reviews for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S according to review aggregator Metacritic;[5][6] the Windows version received "mixed or average" reviews.[4]

Push Square gave the PlayStation 5 version title 8 stars out of 10 and lauded the improved handling and physics, DualSense feedback, historic events and cars, in-depth career mode, and abundance of content, but took issue with the rough visuals, minor bugs, odd progression, and occasional screen tearing.[19] Hardcore Gamer gave the game 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, "WRC 10‘s small but worthwhile alterations to the formula have at least staved off any fear of an eventual plateauing for the series."[10] Shacknews thought positively of the solid driving physics, e-sports functionality, customization options, and amount of content, but disliked the lackluster visuals, lack of iteration upon the prior entry, and performance issues present on PC.[16]

Upon release, the Nintendo Switch port of the game received criticism for its poor visuals from several outlets.

Nintendo Life said that the game's graphical issues "are so severe that they provide a huge distraction while driving" and called the framerate "rougher than a cheese grater made of sandpaper", while also panning the long load times and default controls. However, the site also praised the handling, anniversary mode, and the number of tracks available.[13] TouchArcade called the Switch port of WRC 10 a "graphical mess" while praising the iterations made upon WRC 9 and the addition of anniversary content, writing, "If you only have a Switch, truly love rally racing, and are exceptionally forgiving of technical issues, then you might want to give this a look."[18]
