Rugby 22 is a rugby union simulation video game developed by Eko Software and published by Bigben Interactive for the Playstation 5, Xbox Series X and S PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
The game was released worldwide in January 2022.[1][2][3] It is the follow-up to Rugby 20 and was succeeded by Rugby 25.[4]
Metacritic has assigned Rugby 22 a 59 score, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[5]
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."[6] "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."[6]
