Another free update for WRC 9 has arrived today on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This one features the highly anticipated co-driver mode, allowing two online players to race in the same car. The co-driver provides the rally pacenotes – including details on the route, bends and hazards – with complete immersion thanks to the integrated voice chat. In this co-op mode where synchronization and communication are key to victory, players can truly step into the shoes of the sport’s top partnerships.
The GR Yaris Rally Concept from Toyota GAZOO Racing, is also included in the update, along with new livery for the Citroën C3 for the Pirelli Tyre Team.
Last, but not least, Rally Portugal has 6 new special stages to compete in. With tracks that alternate between forests, villages and wide-open spaces with breath-taking landscapes, there are many more hours of new challenges for players of WRC 9.
