Ever since the launch of EA SPORTS™ WRC last year, we’ve received tons of feedback from fans about the game, how they play, and what they would like to see in the future.

Today we can begin sharing what we’ve been working on, with the announcement of our 2024 Roadmap*, including exciting new content for rally fans to explore and enjoy.

Check out the roadmap and details below, and stay tuned over the coming months for much more detail on what’s to come for EA SPORTS™ WRC.


As the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship season heats up, we’re delighted to announce that the EA SPORTS™ WRC 2024 Season Expansion** will release in October.

This expansion pack will bring players up-to-date with the current season of the sport, featuring new locations, rally stages, high-performance vehicles, liveries and more.

Check back in the coming months as we dive into more detail on the expansion and reveal all of the content, ahead of its release.

Players who purchase the EA SPORTS™ WRC 2024 Season Expansion will also receive an additional two DLC packs** post-launch, more on those below.


If you’ve never experienced the thrill of EA SPORTS™ WRC before, October will be the perfect time to start as we’ll also release a bundle for new players.

This standalone bundle combines the EA SPORTS™ WRC base game and the EA SPORTS™ WRC 2024 Season Expansion into a single purchase.

This also includes the two additional DLC packs (more info below) that will release post-launch.


Following the launch of the EA SPORTS™ WRC 2024 Season Expansion, two additional DLC packs will be released, the first coming this Winter and the second in Spring of 2025.

Players who purchase the EA SPORTS™ WRC 2024 Season Expansion will receive these at no extra cost, and those without the expansion can purchase the packs individually.

These themed DLC packs will contain new cars, additional rally stages for existing locations, moments, and more.

We’ll share more details later this year, follow us on social media [linktr.ee]to get the latest news.


Shifting gears towards the immediate future now, we’re pleased to announce that the Season 6 Rally Pass** begins next week, from July 30.

Based on player feedback received throughout the past year, we have made a number of changes to the Rally Pass, to improve the experience for all players.

For the first time, players can unlock liveries for cars outside of the WRC (Rally1) class, as well as additional sponsor decal sets for the livery editor.

Rewards will also be grouped, so that players can customise their driver with a complete set of new cosmetics, instead of sequentially unlocking each piece across multiple levels (as in Seasons 1-5).

Moments also return for Season 6, and the Season 6 Rally Pass will be free for all players.


Finally, esports WRC is still in development and we’re almost ready to share the official competition information and event calendar, as we continue to work with our partners on the finer details of the series.

The 2024 season is expected to consist of online qualifiers via Racenet,[racenet.com] and an in-person final where the top players compete for the title of esports WRC World Champion. The series will challenge players across a range of locations and conditions in Rally1 cars.

Stay tuned for further updates, and as with all news you’ll get it first on our social media channels.[linktr.ee] In the meantime you can watch some high-intensity action from our invitational exhibition event, which was held in Poland at the end of 2023.


There’s never been a better time to jump in to EA SPORTS™ WRC, or return after some time away.

Try out the game for 5 hours with EA Play and unlock exclusive rewards in-game.
