EA Sports has confimed the «first truly next-generation rally game» EA Sports WRC will launch for PS5 on 3rd November 2023. Packing 18 official FIA World Rally Championship locations, 10 current WRC, WRC2, and Junior WRC vehicles, and another 68 classic race cars, lots of new features from the Codemasters-developed title are set to propel the experience into the modern era. Check out the announcement trailer above.
Using Codemasters' previous work on the DiRT Rally games as a basis, the Dynamic Handling System is set to deliver «the most realistic off-road experience to date». New drivers can keep things simple with personalised handling settings while rally veterans can opt for an experience that's said to mirror what professionals face out on the track. This level of customisation extends to the audio, where beginners can select to receive simplified instructions from their co-driver.
Elsewhere, the Builder option then lets you put together your very own rally car. «Select the chassis, body shells, and all-important mechanical parts before customising the interior and exterior, finally personalising with the livery editor. Put the car through its paces and make any necessary adjustments before competing for the World Championship against the best competition WRC has to offer,» a press release reveals.
You can view a selection of screenshots below:
Heading online will matchmake you into 32-player lobbies where you can race for the fastest times, while the Moments tab recreates important moments from the 2023 season alongside classic events pulled out of the archives. Pre-orders of EA Sports WRC on the PS Store will net you three days of early access (from 31st October 2023) and five VIP Passes, which contain post-launch content.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
The early access thing is going to be for every game before we know it.
Looks good so far, willing to give it a go!
Very confident this will be great, but hopefully we see some proper gameplay soon.
This NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY looks NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY pretty good.
Just in time for my birthday I'll be grabbing it for PC, but this is no doubt a Day Zero purchase.
At £44.99, or £40.49 if you have EA Play, it could be worth a go!
Sigh, no PSVR2 support.
I liked the WRC games that we got before but I assume this will have a bigger budget! Hopefully

Baldur's Gate 3 Is Now PS5's Highest Rated Game Ever | Push Square
Baldur's Gate 3 is out now for PS5, and after bagging itself a Metacritic rating of 96 on PC, it's currently doing one point better on Sony's console. The PS5 version currently commands a 97 on the website, making it the highest-rated game on the system to date. The caveat, of course, is this is only based on nine reviews. However, given the widespread love for the RPG, we doubt the rating is going to drop very much.

Fighters will now visibly cut and bruise in a variety of locations, with damage directly affecting gameplay (a cut to the right eye will impair vision and make you vulnerable, for example).
