WRC 5: FIA World Championship is a rally game based on the 2015 FIA World Rally Championship. A new updated engine for this release allows for a better simulation of the various conditions the player drives in, from asphalt to dirt to snow. The player gets to drive in both day and night, in various weather conditions that are affected by the time of day.
The game features 13 rallies, 51 official crews across three categories, and seven different game modes, including Quick Stage, Quick Rally, Championship, Career, Rally School, Multiplayer Mode (Local), and Online Game Modes. Players can compete in both solo and multiplayer modes, with the option to play online against other players.
