WRC 9 features a variety of race modes – including local split-screen for when your friend comes over for a quick race. But, again, these might be patchable – I hope. At other times the sound of my vehicle’s engine would lose all bass and become muted – very odd. Hearing our co-driver was very difficult despite adjusting audio settings. We did find some audio issues which hopefully can be patched at some point. In-game audio is also good, with tons of vehicular noises to absorb as you scream around corners and over rough terrain. I can’t wait to see how that version looks in comparison.

WRC 9 SPLIT SCREEN SERIES
One thing to note is that NACON plans to release an upgraded version of WRC 9 for both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X platforms. While WRC 9 still lacks HDR and features some jagged foliage, it boasts enhanced lighting and that makes a difference. The game puts players in the real-life FIA World Rally Championship racing series throughout a variety of rallies around the globe – including new rallies in Kenya, New Zealand, and Japan! Graphically, the rally locations look great. WRC 9 is the series’ latest installment – will it move the series to the top of the pack or does it fall behind? Read on to find out!

The World Rally Championship, or, “WRC” racing game series has been around since 2001 and it has come a long way since then – positioning itself as one of the top rally games on the market.
