Been playing this lately. The game officially came out a few minutes ago, but I had early access for a couple days. It's a new WRC (RALLY Racing) game, but from EA/Codemasters instead of Nacon/KT (the previous owners of the license). It appears that it will follow an annual release cycle with minimal DLC (aside from a battlepass type thing that costs $6 per 'season' which consists mostly of cosmetics)
This was my review on steam:
This is a pretty fun game. During early access there were some stuttering and performance issues, but nothing too major on my end with a 2080 SUPER at 4k using DLSS 2.
There's plenty of content here, with over 600km of different track on the stages including stages that are like 3x the length of those in Dirt Rally 2.0. With 19 locations, it's about 31km unique track length per location. I play on controller and this game plays very well on it, my controller of choice is the Steam Controller. You can also play this on Steam Deck with a specific command on startup in case you're having problems with that. The dirt and tarmac handling is better than in DR2.0.
I wish there were more spectators though, as well as "penalties" on the sides of stages for those who want to ride the walls and whatnot. The damage modelling is also a bit lacking compared to DR2.0, such as the lack of steam from the radiator that comes when you damage it and whatnot. The car builder is neat, but could do with more. The livery editor is also cool but could also do with more features such as mirroring and other tools.
