Of course, KT Racing had also had to prepare for the new generation of consoles, releasing native updates for both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, the former having support for the DualSense controller’s new haptics and adaptive triggers.

This follows on from the ‘Blind Jumps’ update that arrived in late October, which was focussed on adding stages to Rally Finland and the photo mode. On Series X|S with Smart Delivery, it’s not so easy… In fact, I don’t know of a way!

It’s not clear when this update will arrive on the new PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, but it’s relatively trivial for PS5 owners to play the PS4 version of a game via backward compatibility. The Pirelli Tyre Team livery, featuring Andreas Mikkelsen and Anders Jaeger in the Citroën C3 WRC.

Even with the Switch’s rumble feature (which I’m also not a fan of), that more immersive feeling is notably absent from the Switch version of the game. There’s a definite weighted feeling when driving a car with the PS5’s DualSense controller, or even with the Dualshock 4. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Joy-Con controllers are terrible. The Joy-Con controllers are the only other major difference between the Switch and PlayStation versions of WRC 9. When on tarmac, you can also feel every skid as you handbrake turn. Haptic feedback makes you aware of every gear change, every jump, and every bump. Having played plenty of other racing titles on Switch, though, WRC 9 is definitely one of the most graphically impressive racing titles that I’ve come across. WRC 9 supports the DualSense wonderfully. This isn’t surprising though, since some technical sacrifices are necessary to port any game to the Switch. Cars are a bit more polygonal in design, while the passing landscapes are flatter and more bare-boned than the PlayStation version. Obviously, the graphical limitations of the Switch put a cap on the game that has otherwise very impressive graphics on PS4 and PS5. You can compete against the online leaderboard for the fastest time in special limited-time events, like Clubs, offering up a multiplayer component to the otherwise single-player experience. Yes, rallying might not be for all, but this is a fine driving game which utilises the WRC licence to great effect. Career mode is where you will be spending the majority of your time and its quite comprehensive. This is a very solid entry that looks and plays incredibly well, especially on next-gen hardware. Kylotonn should be applauded for their sterling efforts here, especially with regard to using Dualsense. WRC 9 is the latest entry in the long-running annual series. Weekly challenges are exactly as you’d expect as well. WRC9 is a great example of a crossplatform port. And let’s not forget the 15 legendary cars that are available as well.Īll of the modes are here on Switch as well, such as Season, Clubs, Challenges, and the incredibly deep Career mode that will have you managing every aspect of your driver’s team and daily routine. Over 50 official teams (along with their official livery) are available for you to try out in the game’s 14 environments, over 110 special stages, three new rallies in Japan, New Zealand, and Kenya, as well as the special stages of Finland and Portugal rallies that were released as post-launch DLC. You’ll be along for the ride with the game’s different circuit categories - WRC, WRC 2, WRC 3, and Junior WRC - all of which offer up different ways of experiencing the high-octane races and strategies of the sport.
