The EA Sports WRC VR beta is scheduled to release on April 30 as part of the 1.8.0 update. The free update will be available for PC via Steam, Epic and the EA App for compatible headsets, offering an entirely new way to experience the world of rally racing. The VR integration extends support to all game modes, whether players are engaging in single-player or multiplayer sessions.
“We are really excited to be bringing VR to EA Sports WRC”, says Creative Director, Matthew Battison, “With VR, players will be able to experience rallying directly through the driver’s eyes and immerse themselves fully in the challenging experience that the WRC offers. They will be able to feel the adrenaline as they reach incredible speeds and tackle gravity-defying jumps in the unforgiving asphalt, gravel, and snow stages, while soaking in the highly detailed environments of the 18 game locations.”
