WRC 8, also known as WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship, is the official game of the 2019 World Rally Championship. The game was developed by French developer Kylotonn and published on 10 September 2019 by Bigben Interactive for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.[1] The game carries an official World Rally Championship esports licence.[2]
WRC 8 was revealed as the official game of the 2019 FIA World Rally Championship in February 2019.[3] It features dynamic weather and an entirely redesigned career mode reminiscent of Codemasters' Formula One series.[4] The game also sees the addition of new classic cars, much like its main rival, Codemasters' Colin McRae Rally/DiRT series, including the Lancia Stratos and 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]
