EA Sports WRC is just around the hairpin, arriving on PS5 on 3rd November, 2023. Codemasters' rally racing title appears to be very promising from what's been shown up to now, and we're excited to get going in a couple of weeks. Until then, EA is drip-feeding information about the game, with the latest details offering a look at the Trophy list.
Having looked through the range of trinkets on the official website, it looks like it'll be pretty straightforward. You'll need to drive 100 miles each on asphalt, gravel/dirt, and snow, and will need to rack up 1,000 cumulative miles across the game. Not necessarily challenging, just time-consuming. Perhaps more difficult will be things like completing a regularity rally event with zero penalty points, winning a WRC championship in Career mode, or some of the specific stage and car challenges.
There are two online-related Trophies, albeit easy ones; if you want the Platinum, you'll need to complete a quick play online event at Rally Estonia, and compete in a Clubs event.
All told, it seems like a very achievable list, and will have you trying out every aspect of EA Sports WRC. Will you be aiming for the Plat in this one? Tell us in the comments section below.

This is one of my most anticipated games this year.
Am I setting myself up for failure?
It certainly looks to be awesome so I hope it delivers!
The more I’m playing WRC generations the more I’m getting annoyed at small things that I hope are not present in this new one:
-Co-driver voice keeps switching back to Male even though I keep changing it back to Female.
-Some of the pace notes are garbage.
-Audio quality inconsistencies in the pace notes (female)-some are clearer than others and the change is jarring when happening back to back.
-I’d like the ability to have the replays not in 60fps. Gameplay at 60 and replays lower and with ray tracing for more cinematic feel.
Maybe a few others but if we fix at least those I’ll be happy with all else!
Really looking forward to this! Pre-ordered and ready to go on the 31st.
This sounds like a lot, but that's basically a cross country road trip. You're in luck, you'll be driving that much anyway for all the other trophies.
Will get this on sale, but it looks great! Still playing Dirt Rally 2.0, and it’s very fun!
Cautiously optimistic but always fearful of the EA tactics.
Yeah I'll be all over this at some point. Not sure when though, too many games to fit in, something's got to give.
Hoping to have Dirt Rally 2.0 plat done in time for this releasing.
I really wish games with the recent easier plats Vs this sorta thing. Sadly, I don't have 55hours or more to complete a game anymore. I love the.sega arcade feel in a game, we are getting there though!
@MasterChiefWiggum
I'm not sure what the prices are like where you are in Canada but here in the UK this game is strangely priced at either £45 or just under if you shop around.
Most new PS5 games here launch at the £70 mark so this kinda feels as good as being on sale right from the start.
Obviously I'm not complaining that it's only £45 but the sceptic in me does wonder why it's so cheap 😂
@Member_the_game
Cheap because it won't sell at full price globally .
@waltdisneypixar
You could say that about plenty of games but it doesn't stop them launching at full price
@Member_the_game i wont pay more than 25 and i love wrc.
@waltdisneypixar
To be truthful, thinking about it I can't remember the last Codemasters one I bought.... Quite often they are usually on PS Plus or Gamepass so I've always played them as part of that.
I did pick up WRC 9 on sale for just under £5 about 6 months ago
@Member_the_game lol
My only concern is that i think it won’t look as good as all the vids on Youtube. The EA early access vids are PC only and look amazing on Ultra setting. PS5 won’t look this crisp. On the positive side….EA will only let us pay for liveries! (Maybe later some extra cars?) But the mid-eu tracks will be a free DLC. 👍
@Member_the_game It’s $65 which isn’t bad at all, but I’m still gonna wait. I almost never buy new games right away; better to wait for the patches to roll in and the price to drop!
