WRC 10 is another successful example of KT Racing’s commitment to fantastic stage design and frantic, fast-paced, and occasionally unforgiving fun.

Full Review

It’s hard to avoid comparisons between WRC 10 and the increasingly liberal depiction of rallying in the DIRT and Forza Horizon series, but where they’ve veered off in a new direction, WRC 10 remains faithful to its source material and offers a fine emulation of the World Rally Championship with a few technical niggles.

WRC 10 is a decent rally experience, thanks to the solid driving model and improved vehicle feedback. The new tracks are good but team management has regressed and other changes are a mixed bag in what is a predictable yearly release.

BaziCenter	Amin Bala Zadeh	8 / 10	09-19-2021	Although WRC 10 is not as big a step forward as WRC 9 was, it still offers a lot of improvements. The 50th anniversary mode is also a very welcomed addition and mixed with the return of many legendary drivers, the final package is more or less exactly what Rally fans would want in a game.	Read review
Bazimag	Sina Golabzade	8 / 10	09-02-2021	WRC 10 may not feel as big of leap forward as this franchise’s two previous outings but it is still one of the best rally video games in the market and the addition of the anniversary mode have made it a no-brainer choice for rally enthusiasts.	Read review
COGconnected	Rhett Waselenchuk	77 / 100	09-21-2021	WRC 10 isn’t going to be for everybody, but I think the ones that love it will really love it. The driving is excellent, and the sound design is next to none. Plus, it features a deep career mode and several historical scenarios for you to sink your teeth into. One minute, it’s frustrating the hell out of you; the next, you’re pumping your fist in the air over the milliseconds you were able to shave off a run. And that’s what racing is all about.	Read review
Cubed3	Josh Di Falco	8 / 10	09-30-2021	Despite the visual breaks and screen tears that seem to happen oftentimes, WRC 10 is the ultimate rally game on PS5. At this point, there is no better alternative if the objective is getting the wheels dirty on the gravel roads. WRC 10 makes great use of the haptic feedback, bringing the vibrations to a new level of immersion while the triggers help add a new layer also. Career Mode is still unchanged from previous years, though the Season Mode is also still an option for those who don’t wish to partake in the managerial aspects of the team management options. Otherwise, for those looking for the ultimate challenge beyond the AI opponents, the Online mode is still a bustling wonderland of challenges for all diehard competitors. Of course, this package wouldn’t be complete without dipping into the historical races over the last 50 years of WRC, allowing for drivers to explore the older cars while also learning about their historical significance to the sport.	Read review
Daily Star	Tom Hutchison	3 / 5 stars	09-02-2021	There’s a lot going for WRC10. It’s slick, in-depth and full of authenticity. That’ll appeal to fans of the genre who want to go deep into the endless tweaks and changes available. But it isn’t the best driving game out there and ultimately, that’s what holds this back from being a classic racer	Read review
DarkZero	Dominic Sheard	7 / 10	09-13-2021	WRC 10 is the best the WRC series has ever been. It might not be the biggest leap in improvements, but the refinement of the vehicle control, the improved physics, new tweaks to the career – just as time-consuming as last year’s – and the increased legendary car/track count help make the return to the series a good one.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Benjamine Branscum	7.7 / 10	08-31-2017	WRC 10 is a solid entry into the franchise…but I’m just not sure if it’s worth taking your keys and trading them in for the newer model.	Read review
Echo Boomer	Diogo dos Santos	Recommended	09-13-2021	WRC comes to the next-generation more polished than ever.	Read review
Eurogamer	Martin Robinson	Recommended	12-20-2021	KT Racing celebrates 50 years of WRC with a generous, enjoyable package	Read review
Everyeye.it	Andrea Sorichetti	6.5 / 10	09-05-2021	Ultimately: does it make sense to buy WRC 10? The price is quite affordable, with its € 50 for the next-gen and Switch versions (coming in the coming months) that drop to € 40 for the PS4 and One versions, so if you are not already in possession of other similar titles and you are looking for some fun in drift it actually makes sense to jump on this new chapter of the series. The situation changes drastically if you get from WRC 9. WRC 10 is almost more of a reskin of the previous chapter that on a practical level really adds too little to distance itself from the past, with the sole exception of the 50th Anniversary mode, which is quite clear that it was the main focus of the development team during the work.	Read review
FingerGuns	Sean Davies	8 / 10	09-15-2021	A few issues with the visuals take the shine off of WRC 10 which is otherwise yet another authentic, enjoyable rally game from KT Racing. Not a vast amount has changed since WRC 9 but what new content that has been added, including the Anniversary Mode which celebrates 30 years of the sport, does just enough to make this a worthwhile annual iteration for the series.	Read review
Forbes	Unknown	Recommended	09-05-2021	By ironing out its UI, making career mode more accessible, and generally stripping back those unnecessary complexities surrounding an otherwise brilliant experience, KT Racing has every chance of making next year’s WRC 11 one of the very best racing games in the last ten years–a show-stopping swansong for a studio that’s clearly dedicated to constant improvement.	Read review
Gameblog	Unknown	7 / 10	09-07-2021	WRC 10 is not a bad opus of the series, with its share of novelties rather welcome. Mode 50e birthday finally allows you to enjoy former glories of the discipline, and even if we would have liked it to be more fleshed out, it still makes an act of presence.	Read review
GameSkinny	Aaron Bayne	6 / 10	09-09-2021	WRC 10 is a hardcore racer that’ll require you to put in the time before reaping any of its rewards.	Read review
GameSpace	Brau3er	7.3 / 10	11-29-2021	In the end, WRC 10 hits enough high points to be notable and it’s a sure bet that things will be improved over time with updates, new content releases, and patches. However, it’s not the game for everyone and there is certainly something to be said for waiting for a definitive edition for those who may be on the fence.	Read review
GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	8 / 10	09-01-2021	Bringing back all of the modes from last year’s WRC 9, including the unique co-driver mode, while adding a new Anniversary Mode and some welcome new features, WRC 10 is the biggest entry in the series yet. It can be punishing at times, perhaps overly so, but it’s hard not to be impressed by the game’s authenticity. Racing through stages is always exhilarating, thanks largely to the impressive visuals and reliable physics model. And whether you want to sink your teeth into a meaty career or dive in for a quick challenge, there’s a mode for you. There’s still a little room for improvement, but WRC 10 is undoubtedly the best rally game you can buy right now.	Read review
GamingBolt	Matt Bianucci	8 / 10	09-05-2021	While not a monumental upgrade over past installments, WRC 10 makes some welcome changes to the formula that continue to make it a must-play for fans of the sport.	Read review
Generación Xbox	Pedro del Pozo	9 / 10	09-02-2021	WRC 10 manages to rise definitively as the most complete rally title of the moment.	Read review
GuiltyBit	Dani Viñambres	8.5 / 10	09-26-2021	Halfway between arcade and simulation, but more oriented to the latter, WRC10 offers us a very complete game and one of the most rewarding drives we have seen. With some non-serious technical problem, WRC10 will keep us hooked with its game modes and, specifically, with a Career Mode as complete as it is entertaining.	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Jordan Helm	3.5 / 5 stars	08-31-2021	Even in its most tepid of opportune changes, WRC 10 still finds ways to vex and test in ways that are both punishing but enjoyable to see through.	Read review
Hey Poor Player	Jon Davis	4 / 5 stars	09-13-2021	WRC 10 shines when it’s not trying to lure you in with a load of flashy bullshit. Instead, it’s best when it’s got you on the track, careering through chicanes or clinging on for dear life as you hoist yourself through a hairpin.	Read review
IGN	Luke Reilly	8 / 10	09-03-2021	WRC 10 is another successful example of KT Racing’s commitment to fantastic stage design and frantic, fast-paced, and occasionally unforgiving fun.	Read review
IGN Italy	Davide Mancini	7.9 / 10	10-08-2021	WRC 10 is a melancholic better version of WRC 9, with some peculiar and welcome refinements to the physics and handling. Apart from that WRC 10 is a rock solid rally driving experience with some technical hiccups and an interesting, but somehow shallow, scenario mode.	Read review
IGN Middle East	Omar Salah	7 / 10	09-12-2021	WRC 10 retains the basics of the series built over the years but does not offer any new changes in return.	Read review
Jump Dash Roll	Peter Taylor	8 / 10	09-11-2021	Whatever may come in next year’s WRC 11 Kylotonn leaves behind a strong legacy and has created what is probably the most underrated racing series currently in active development. That being said, WRC 10 really is an incremental upgrade and unless you absolutely must have it for one reason or another there’s perhaps not enough here for owners of WRC 9.	Read review
New Game Network	Ben Thomas	72 / 100	09-08-2021	WRC 10 is a decent rally experience, thanks to the solid driving model and improved vehicle feedback. The new tracks are good but team management has regressed and other changes are a mixed bag in what is a predictable yearly release.	Read review
Nintendo Life	Chris Scullion	7 / 10	03-19-2022	WRC 10 contains significantly more content than its already packed predecessor, and can provide extremely satisfying rally gameplay once you get used to its (accurately) unforgiving handling. This is let down, however, by the game’s visuals, which are tolerable while docked but look awful when playing in handheld. As long as you can put up with how it looks, there should be enough here to keep you busy for months.	Read review
NoesPaisparaFrikis	Oscar Garcia Mompean	9 / 10	09-21-2021	Referring to beat	Read review
Operation Sports	Robert Kollars	Recommended	09-07-2021	That said, this title will challenge your patience and requires time and effort to learn the game from the inside out. Those who are willing to do just that will have an experience that is deep, authentic, and most of all, fun. There are no cheap ways to enjoy WRC 10, and you are either all in or you’re not, but the rewards for those who jump in with both feet are, well, rewarding.	Read review
Oyungezer Online	Mert Köse	7.5 / 10	09-11-2021	If you are not a hardcore rally fan and you already own either Dirt Rally 2.0 or WRC9, you can keep your money in your pocket. WRC 10 is the right choice only for newcomers and those who know the history of rally like the back of their hand.	Read review
PCMag	Tony Polanco	3.5 / 5 stars	06-25-2021	WRC 10’s precise controls and detailed graphics wonderfully replicate rally racing, though graphical hiccups occasionally sour the experience.	Read review
PlayStation LifeStyle	Paulmichael Contreras	8 / 10	10-18-2021	WRC 10 is a safe entry, celebrating the long, rich history of the World Rally Championship, while taking care to not break anything that was already working well. If you missed out on WRC 9, you may be content with picking that up for a bargain (assuming you have a disc-based console). If you want the latest and most up-to-date rally racing simulator, though, then WRC 10 is more than competent at providing a ton of fun for rally fans everywhere.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Martyn Locker	8 / 10	09-03-2021	It’s hard to avoid comparisons between WRC 10 and the increasingly liberal depiction of rallying in the DIRT and Forza Horizon series, but where they’ve veered off in a new direction, WRC 10 remains faithful to its source material and offers a fine emulation of the World Rally Championship with a few technical niggles.	Read review
PSX Brasil	Paulo Roberto Montanaro	85 / 100	09-17-2021	WRC 10 manages not only to maintain the high level of quality of its previous version, but it also solves several problems and adds a lot of content that will please many fans of racing, mud and dust. Responsive and very demanding in its controls, it brings beautiful visuals and abundant modes, proving to be one of the best options of the genre.	Read review
Push Square	Stephen Tailby	8 / 10	09-03-2021	WRC 10 builds on the success of its predecessor with another impressive rally sim. The handling feels excellent on the track, and speeding through all the official routes is a real thrill. Alongside its meaty Career mode is a long list of ways to play, including the 50th Anniversary cars and events, which are a great addition. It’s not perfect, lacking some visual polish and locking content in unusual ways, but overall, this is another step in the right direction for KT Racing.	Read review
Rapid Reviews UK	Rob Lake	4.5 / 5 stars	09-18-2021	For quite a few years the rally genre was dominated by Codemasters and their Colin McRae series – and later Dirt/Dirt Rally. Throughout every console generation, there’s been a competitor for the rally crown and after a few years of trying, KT Racing finally nailed it last year with WRC 9 (check out our Xbox and Nintendo Switch reviews). This year, the developer is back with WRC 10. Not only does it improve on last year’s already stellar title, it also adds plenty more to the series.	Read review
Saving Content	Scott Ellison II	4 / 5 stars	08-31-2021	For the first time in the series, WRC 10 feels fully featured. It’s brimming with modes and ways to play, sure to make a fan out of anyone and give you more than enough replayability into next year. It’s a shame then that some of the bugs and issues from prior years have persisted into this year’s entry. There’s nothing egregious with the issues, but it’s rather surprising they haven’t been stamped out. The 50th Anniversary Mode is sure to be a favorite, and the highly-requested livery editor will satisfy long-time fans. This game captures the thrill of taking hairpin turns at high speeds like a pro, and drifting through snow with elegance. WRC 10 is authentic to the sport, something that’s not to be overlooked.	Read review
Screen Rant	Rob Gordon	3.5 / 5 stars	09-01-2021	WRC 10 is an extremely fun game with a few caveats around the amount of changed content from last year’s entry. It’s not a must-buy for those who own WRC 9 unless they are a rally fan desperate for the new stages for the 2021 season or the updated liveries, as the anniversary additions are the only major update from last year. However, whose who don’t own WRC 9 but who are interested in rally racing will see this as the most comprehensive official WRC game to date, with lots to enjoy and plenty of hours’ worth of entertainment to be found across its various modes.	Read review
Shacknews	Chris Jarrard	7 / 10	08-31-2021	WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship is a solid all-around experience built on a reliable foundation.	Read review
SpazioGames	Domenico Musicò	7.8 / 10	08-31-2021	WRC 10 is substantially identical to WRC 9, with the same technical issues. The only important add-on is represented by 50° anniversary mode, that pays homage to some of the most iconic rally races.	Read review
The Games Machine	Alessandro Alosi	7.5 / 10	09-06-2021	The franchise doesn’t make the hoped-for leap in quality, it just takes a step in the right direction: this will hardly be enough to satisfy the most demanding drivers or those who already own WRC 9, but several off-road enthusiasts may still consider it more than enough to have fun.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Dominic Leighton	8 / 10	09-03-2021	WRC 10 is a great rally package that hones many of the WRC 9’s strengths to a finer edge. There’s a couple of visual glitches that need working on, but all in all, rally fans will love what KT Racing have put together this year.	Read review
ThisGenGaming	Justin Oneil	8.5 / 10	09-07-2021	WRC 10 returns most of what made WRC 9 great and builds on it with anniversary content and more. The physics model still feels great while playing and there is a ton of content here to play through. Getting to relive the history of the sport through the Anniversary events and cars was also awesome. The DualSense support on the PlayStation 5 version is also once again fantastic and the platform I recommend you play this game on. Some areas of the visuals can still be improved on in future entries but despite those blemishes this is one of the finest rally racing games on the market.	Read review
TrustedReviews	Kob Monney	3.5 / 5 stars	12-10-2021	WRC 10 is a solid racing game with an Anniversary mode that celebrates the history of the motorsport. However, the management aspect of the game is a bit on the repetitive and dull side.	Read review
WayTooManyGames	Leonardo Faria	8.5 / 10	09-01-2021	I can’t help but love witnessing the noticeable improvements in each yearly iteration of WRC, going from a mediocre rally title to what’s possibly the best franchise of the genre in the market nowadays. WRC 10 is its crown achievement, especially on next-gen consoles.	Read review
Zoomg	محمد صادق تواضعی	7 / 10	09-24-2021	WRC 10 is trying to be a rally simulator, but the inappropriate design of some cars has made the game more of an arcade experience than previous versions.	Read review
ZTGD	Ken McKown	7.5 / 10	10-19-2021	WRC 10 is a game where fans will notice the tweaks and additions, while casual fans will ask why upgrade? This is common among games that focus on specific sports and genres. There is enough here though for diehards to consider upgrading. I am not thrilled that some of the interesting content is locked behind DLC, but even with that hangup the tweaks and additions make this version a worthy successor. This entry won’t change anyone’s opinion of the realistic rally genre, but for those that enjoy it, there are few better options on the market.	Read review
