Codemasters, the EA studio behind the DiRT Rally franchise, announced that its off-road racing game EA Sports WRC is set to include VR support for its PC version sometime later this month.
Update (April 4th, 2024): Codemasters announced the game’s Season 4 content update is headed to players on April 9th, although we’ll have to wait a little longer to jump into the game’s rally cars in VR, as the studio says it’s pushing a free VR update to the PC version sometime near the end of April.
“The development team at Codemasters has progressed far enough with the VR implementation that we can show you a little teaser, and also confirm that we are targeting the end of April as a release window,” the studio says in a blog post.
There’s no specific release date yet, however we’ll keep you posted. The original article follows below, including a teaser video released by Codemasters for the upcoming VR mode:
Original Article (September 6th, 2023): The game is set to land on multiple platforms on November 3rd, including PS 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the EA App, Epic Store, and Steam, however VR support isn’t planned to be a launch day feature.
It’s not certain when the VR mode is coming to PC, although what is certain: it’s not coming to PSVR 2.
Here’s what WRC’s Steam page says:
“Exclusive to PC. Feel the pure adrenaline of rally from the driver’s seat. Coming Post-launch.”
The studio also released the game’s initial reveal trailer, showing off some of the ability to design and drive your dream rally car thanks to the inclusion of Builder mode.
Codemasters says WRC also lets you “race and overcome recent events alongside real-world highlights and nostalgic throwbacks in Moments mode, or battle the elements across dirt, snow, and asphalt in the pursuit of the perfect run.”
