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.

EA SPORTS™ WRC Season 6 Rally Pass - Starts July 30

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.
