WRC 8, also known as WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship, is the official game of the

Bigben Interactive for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.[1] The game carries an official World Rally Championship esports licence.[2]

Development and release

WRC 8 was revealed as the official game of the

Renault Alpine. The game also offers more content than the previous game, with 102 special stages spread across the championship's 14 countries.[4][5] The game was released to Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in September 2019,[6][7][8] and was later ported to Nintendo Switch on 31 October.[9]

Reception

WRC 8 received "generally favorable" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic, with reviewers praising the major improvements made to both the game's physics and graphics.[6][7][8]

Martin Robinson of Eurogamer praised the ongoing evolution of the series, saying that "it's a significant year for the series, having taken a year away and returning from its break revitalised and refreshed. In fact, having personally only kept a watching brief on Kylotonn's tenure on the series since it signed up with WRC 5, it feels like a different series entirely."[13]

Accolades

The game was nominated for "Best Game" at the Pégases Awards 2020.[14]
