Kylotonn Entertainment's WRC 9 is widely considered to be one of the best early PlayStation 5 titles to make great use of the DualSense controller, and that offering is only about to get even better with the arrival of the free December update. Available right now on PlayStation 4 and coming soon to Sony's latest system, this month's patch adds six new stages, two more cars, and an online co-op mode to truly test your friends' driving skills.
Head to Portugal as six more events give you another podium position to aim for, and do so in either the new GR Yaris Rally Concept car or the Citroen C3 livery. The new Co-Driver mode then lets you and a buddy head online to simulate the actual roles of a racer and their companion as the twosome work to combat corners and tight hairpins. A pretty cool addition, we must say.
Have you been enjoying WRC 9 on PS5? How do those adaptive triggers and haptic feedback feel? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Portugal <3 time to buy this I guess!
I bought this game purely because of the reception its use of the Duelsense has gotten. I really suck at playing it, though. Still, I'm looking forward to some new cars and tracks to crash in and on, respectively 😆
@KeldorTheCursed It is incredibly difficult to master but when you do, you can float round the tracks. I found tarmac / asphalt the absolute hardest. I was incredible on snow, even if I do say so myself.
Great game. Really want to sink more into it when I get the time!
@elvisfan1 you got to balance the acceleration and braking, its much faster to go slower than you instinctively want. My friend and I play this and I'm constantly trying to tell him that throttle and breaking are not full on/full off binary options, feathering is key, as is knowing the biting point of tyres, speed and conditions, which you can only assess if you're going at the right speed.
Eventually stages are pure exhilaration once it all clicks. Hammering down a mountain on snow keeping things under control is so satisfying!
The dualsense is so good in this that I don't use my steering wheel all the time. I have a G29 but I love the haptic feedback of the controller, especially when the car is damaged.
@elvisfan1 the funny thing is, I do ok on the snow, LOL. However, you may have helped me out because I keep trying the asphalt thinking it would be easier. I should try the gravel more. I've never been a huge racing game fan and when I did play them more often (I'm talking like Sega Saturn days 😆 ), the games I played were more arcade-like. I think I'm just having a time adjusting to the sim style this game employs. It can be punishing. I was always bad at the GT series, too. Still, the DS is so good here that I'm less inclined to give up and more likely to keep trying. I have several games I'm playing at the moment but I like getting a race in now and then to relax.
@Hyperluminal I'll bear that in mind, as well!
I bought it purely for the DualSense feedback thinking it might entertain me for a short while, but it's actually an absolutely fantastic game.
Very cool! I love the game. One more trophy for platinum and so much more to do after...
I’ve got right into WRC8 off PS Now, so much so that I’d absolutely get this on PS5.
When i finally manage to get a ps5 i will most defenately be getting this over Dirt. I have no interest in any of Dirts disciplines apart from point to point rally and this, along with the heptic feedback should be outstandingly good.
@Kidfunkadelic83 mate you can get PS4s everywhere
@AFCC 😂😂 i have rectified that now 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@AFCC Hi there friend.
I was about to post the same thing.
Haven´t played a WRC game since 3.
But now, I just have to do it.
I should have bought the game during Black friday sales though......
Cheers, stay safe out there people and happy gaming to us all
