IGN said "it's an earnest attempt to capture the spirit of a niche motorsport series and, most importantly, it feels good to play thanks to a wide selection of tight-quarters race tracks, and decent handling. It might not hold a candle to Dirt Rally in its car selection or look and feel, but it's not bad for developer Kylotonn's sophomore effort on the series."{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/10/13/wrc-6-review |title=WRC 6 Review |website=IGN |date=2016-10-13 |author=Luke Reilly |lang=en |accessdate=2023-10-10 }} GamesRadar said "The second best rally game on current-gen, after Dirt Rally. A straining game engine is its biggest issue, but accept its few shortcomings and you'll find a fun and engrossing rally sim."{{cite web |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/wrc-6-review-would-be-a-lot-more-impressive-if-dirt-rally-didnt-exist/ |title=WRC 6 review: "Would be a lot more impressive if Dirt Rally didn't exist" |website=GamesRadar |date=2016-10-11 |author=Justin Towell |lang=en |accessdate=2023-10-10 }}
