EA Sports WRC Goes VR

VR Beta is integrated into the main EA Sports WRC game on PC; you will not need to join a separate beta branch on Steam, for example. There is no time limit or restriction on when VR Beta is available; any PC player with compatible hardware can launch EA Sports WRC in VR, and VR will not be removed from the game going forward. When we are confident enough to say that VR is in a fully completed state, we will no longer refer to it as VR Beta. EA Sports WRC VR Beta is available on PC (Steam, Epic, EA App) through compatible headsets. If you have a compatible VR headset connected, you will be asked whether you want to play in VR or non-VR mode when you boot up the game.

"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."
