It sucks, we know. Seriously, we can’t thank everyone enough for your support and excitement around DIRT S, ever since its reveal back in May. The positive feedback we’ve received from hands-on preview sessions has blown us away, too. The start line is now a little further away, but it’s still very much in sight.
Don’t forget: anyone who owns DIRT 5 on current-gen consoles will still be entitled to the
relevant next-gen optimized version, when it launches, free of charge.More DIRT 5 news and brand new gameplay is coming your way between now and November. Get ready for first looks at new cars and locations, the final car list, more next-gen feature details, and a full reveal of DIRT 5’s multiplayer features. Stick around – we’re just getting started. Again, thank you.
