We are pleased to announce that the January Update of WRC 10 is now available to download on your Steam client! This final major update of the game (as we shared in our Roadmap) is bringing the delayed Teams Online, a mode in which you can compete against other Teams on special challenges each week, the Online Multiplayer Championship (also known as the esports WRC Championship, and additional fixes to the game. For more details about the content this update, please go down a bit further in this article.
In the Teams Online mode, you will take part in weekly events against other teams. With good performances and consistency, your team can win events and climb a global leaderboard.
Only a certain number of players (defined in the event), will have their points count toward the team's score. The best scores will count toward the total. if you're familiar with how the esports WRC Championship works (and how we count points for the Teams) this is extremely similar to what we've done in the past.
We're also excited to announce that the esports WRC Championship 2022 is back and will start next Friday, January 14 with Rally Monte-Carlo. The Championship is opened to all players owning a copy of WRC 10. You can learn more about the competition on the official esports WRC website.
