About DIRT 5

DIRT 5 is a fun, amplified, off-road arcade racing game created by Codemasters. It was published by Codemasters and Electronic Arts and released on 5 November 2020 for Windows. You blaze a trail on routes across the world, covering gravel, ice, snow and sand, with a roster of cars that ranges from rally icons to trucks and GT heroes. The game keeps the spirit of the long-running series while taking a bolder, louder approach that focuses on spectacle and highlight-reel moments.

The world tour is a big part of the appeal. There are more than 70 unique routes spread across 10 global locations, set in dynamic environments with extreme and constantly changing conditions. You can race on the frozen East River in New York, speed beneath Christ the Redeemer in Brazil or slide along under the Northern Lights in Norway. Storms, lightning, night races and deep mud all change how each event feels, so learning a route also means learning how it behaves in different weather.

The garage is deliberately eclectic. You can conquer the toughest terrain with boulder-beating machines, take classic rally cars to new places or feel the power of 900bhp sprint cars. Rallycross cars, GT machines, trophy trucks, buggies and muscle cars complete the off-road line-up. Each class handles differently, from nimble buggies that skip over bumps to heavy trucks that bully their way through ruts, which keeps the racing varied even across long sessions.

The Career mode puts you in the spotlight. Under the guidance of an icon of the sport, all eyes are on you to become the new star of an amplified world of off-road racing. You earn sponsorships and unique rewards, conquer every location and take on a fierce rival in what Codemasters calls its biggest Career yet. Local split-screen for up to four players works in offline modes, including the Career, which makes it easy to race side by side on the sofa.

Creative tools round out the package. A detailed Photo Mode lets you capture your biggest jumps and best moves, and the livery editor is described as the deepest in the history of the series, available for every car. Further modes let players create their own events and race against objectives as well as opponents. Racing events for up to 12 players and curated playlists are also part of the game for those who want to measure themselves against others.

DIRT 5 supports full controller play, achievements, cloud saves and Remote Play Together. Text and full audio are available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. It is rated USK 12 in Germany, PEGI 12 and T by the ESRB, so it suits teenagers and adults who enjoy accessible yet spectacular racing with plenty of mud, snow and air time.
