EA Sports WRC: an engine change for the worse?

The latest WRC game moves to a new engine, Unreal Engine 4, but was it the right move? Tom Morgan investigates the situation on PS5, Series X, Series S and PC.

In comparison, it's notable that PS5 and Series X owners get a similar package in visual terms, while frame-rates are close too. The only sticking point is that PS5 gets higher quality shadows - sharpening their outlines - whereas the Xbox Series X and S machines share the same shadow settin. Regardless, Series X and PS5 look quite similar in motion in every other aspect. It's Series S that operates with the most noticeable drop to settings quality in general and resolution.

I love that there's absolutely nothing in this game that could suggest drops in framerate and resolution, it does nothing beyond Dirt Rally 2. It's unacceptable that a racing game that looks last gen releases with this level of performance when much better looking games can edge it performance and resolution wise.
