The car models were already gorgeous on the previous generation of this game but on PS5, they’re simply stunning. Where the PS5 version accelerates past the PS4 version of WRC 9 is the presentation and visuals. The handling and road feel in this game is equally as impressive on PS4 or PS5, forming a twitchy battle between the player and the road ahead that’s a joy to experience. If there’s one thing I hoped hadn’t changed between generational versions, it was this. The handling, mechanics and feel to drive the WRC Junior, main proper, classic and bonus cars remains completely unchanged in the PS5 version of WRC 9 – and that’s a good thing. You pick your event and you’re in the driver’s seat within seconds. I didn’t even notice any clever tricks to hide loading screens either. You spend a much higher proportion of your game time with WRC 9 on PS5 actually driving a car rather than looking at load screens. What I will say is that while the career mode still lacks a little personality, it’s much more palatable in the next-gen version of the game because load screens are virtually non-existent. I won’t go over the content included within WRC 9 again (if you want to read about that feel free to read my original review) because it remains completely unchanged in the PS5 version. WRC 9 on PS5 looks almost indistinguishable from the PlayStation 4 version and it makes brilliant use of the DualSense controller, achieving things that just weren’t possible on the previous generation of consoles. Those rough edges have mostly been polished into extinction.
