The game was released worldwide in January 2022. [1] It is the follow-up to Rugby 20 and was succeeded by Rugby 25 . [2]

Reception

In a mixed review, Wales Online called it the best rugby game in "15 years" whilst also having some criticism. They said: "Gameplay-wise, this game is probably the closest any title has come to capturing modern rugby, and is certainly the best on-field game since Rugby 08 ."

"While it's not perfect, and the game can either reward you or the computer for essentially breaking it with long, looping miss-passes from rucks, it does flow better than previous iterations." [3]
