In Windows Central’s preview, Richard Devine said, “For now, what I’ve had is certainly enough to whet my appetite. I’ve been playing Codemasters off-road games since the very first Colin McRae Rally and always had a soft spot for the lighter, more casual side presented by the Dirt titles. What I’ve seen and heard so far first-hand leaves me pretty excited for what’s to come and I can’t wait to get my hands on the finished product in October.”
The wild world of Dirt gets bigger than ever
Dirt 5 takes a much different approach to the super-serious Dirt Rally franchise and this one will be the biggest yet, with bonus Xbox Series X support to boot.
