Codemasters® today celebrates the launch of DIRT 5™ for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One and the Xbox One X, and PC. DIRT 5 is developed by the Codemasters Cheshire studio and offers a diverse mix of game modes from traditional racing across multiple terrains, arena creation through Playgrounds, and a host of multiplayer features including three party games.
DIRT 5 delivers amplified racing across 70 routes, 10 locations and 13 vehicle classes. Players must master the likes of rally cars, rock bouncers, buggies, and more if they’re to prove themselves in the DIRT Series. The Career boasts the voice talents of gaming icons, Troy Baker and Nolan North, alongside Donut Media’s James Pumphrey and Nolan Sykes, and cameos from the world of gaming and motorsport.
In the most ambitious DIRT title to date, Playgrounds allows players to create, share and discover custom arenas across three event types: Gate Crasher, Smash Attack and Gymkhana. Once verified by the creator, Playgrounds are available for anyone to download, and post their best scores to the global leaderboards.
“DIRT 5 is finally available, and we can’t wait to jump into the lobbies with our players,” said Robert Karp, DIRT 5 Development Director at Codemasters. “The team has done an incredible job, and there is so much variety. From Playgrounds to party modes to all-action racing, DIRT 5 gives racing fans so much of what they love and a whole lot more.”
DIRT 5 on Xbox Series X|S is available worldwide on Nov. 10. The PlayStation®5 version launches in North America, Australia and New Zealand on Nov. 12, and the rest of the world on Nov. 19. A Google Stadia version will launch in early 2021. The game supports Xbox Smart Delivery and PlayStation’s free upgrade* when players switch to an Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5.
