Never before has the official WRC simulation been this authentic. New off-road physics on all road surfaces, completely redesigned career mode, dynamic weather, 50 teams, 14 countries, 100+ stages, weekly challenges and the eSports mode… Aim for the top in the most intense WRC experience yet!

Its low quality performance when running on the Switch screen is the most difficult to handle, while the lack of multiplayer is...
WRC 8 is a hugely enjoyable rally game – perhaps the strongest in the history of this long-running series – but it arrives on Switch in a disappointing state.
