Seemingly out of nowhere, it seems that WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship has received a new update, and it’s a pretty major one too. This update is adding split-screen multiplayer, as well as synchronized online multiplayer functionality.

Fans of the game may recall that both of these features were absent from the game at launch, with the developers committing themselves to adding these features as a post-launch update. It is certainly odd that this update has taken well over a year to release, particularly when considering that WRC 10 has even launched on the platform in that timespan, but it seems the developers are making due on that promised content.
