WromWrom video covering updates and news in sim racing
Welcome to the latest edition of Sim Racing News! In this week’s video by WromWrom, we’ll be covering all the exciting updates and news in the world of sim racing. So sit back, relax, and let’s dive into the world of virtual racing!
Ubisoft delists ‘The Crew’ game
It seems like Ubisoft has made a surprising decision by delisting their popular game, “The Crew.” This means that players will no longer be able to play the game, even in single-player mode. While Ubisoft may have the legal right to do this, it’s still disappointing for fans of the game. It’s a reminder that when we purchase games, we are actually buying licenses that can be revoked at any time.
EA’s WRC offering gets an update and price reduction
In other news, EA’s WRC offering has received an update. The update includes the addition of the “Central European Rally,” featuring 13 stages on tarmac. Along with the update, EA has also reduced the price of the game by 30%. This price reduction may indicate that the game has not been well-received by the sim racing community. It will be interesting to see if these updates and the lower price can improve its reputation among players.
Release date announced for ‘Expeditions: A MudRunner Game’
Fans of MudRunner will be delighted to hear that the release date for the sequel, “Expeditions: A MudRunner Game,” has been announced. The game is set to launch on March 5, 2024, and will be available on multiple platforms, including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. After the mixed reception of the previous MudRunner game, let’s hope that this sequel delivers a polished and enjoyable off-road experience.
GT2 DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione scheduled for January release
Assetto Corsa Competizione fans have something to look forward to next month. The highly anticipated GT2 DLC is set to be released in January. This DLC will introduce new cars and tracks, adding to the already immersive racing experience of Assetto Corsa Competizione. Keep an eye out for more details as the release date approaches.

Updates and fixes in iRacing update
iRacing enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the latest update brings several updates and fixes to the game.
