WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship update out now (version 1.2.0)
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments

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.
