The latest update for EA SPORTS™ WRC 24 is available to download from January 28, 2025.
This update introduces the Le Maestros Content Pack, alongside a number of minor quality of life improvements and bug fixes.
Le Maestros Content Pack
Le Maestros is a tribute to the iconic era of French success, from the late 1990s to the late 2010s. French competitors won the World Drivers’ Championship a stunning 15 times in a row, as two of the greatest rally drivers of all time rose to ascendancy.
This was also a highly successful time for French car manufacturers, with 11 World Manufacturers’ Championships and 11 drivers’ titles being taken behind the wheel of famed marques such as Citroën and Peugeot.
Le Maestros introduces new rally stages, Moments, liveries, historic vehicles and an all-new car class.
New Livery Select Interface
We have refreshed the look and functionality of the livery selection screen when players choose a car to drive.
This new layout showcases designs with greater detail, while also making it easier to select liveries on cars with a large quantity of available designs.
Updated Homespace
We have refreshed the garage homespace of the game’s frontend menus with a fresh coat of paint, with the walls showcasing some of the new Le Maestros cars added to the game.
The game’s “splash screen” (which appears when you boot up the game) has also been updated with new artwork.
New Player Nationalities
We have added over 80 countries to the Driver Details menu, allowing more players from around the world to represent their nation in-game and on leaderboards.
The total number of selectable nationalities in the game is now above 170, covering the vast majority of EA SPORTS™ WRC players.
New Rally Pass Levels & Rewards
We have extended the game’s Rally Pass, raising the level cap from 50 to 60.
In addition to this we have added 20 new livery editor decals as rewards, and rebalanced the XP earning rates and level requirements to account for the new level cap.
