[Update: DIRT 5 for the PS5 now confirmed as a November 12th launch title]
DIRT 5 looks to us (as we’ve claimed before) like the spiritual successor to one of our all-time favorite off-road arcade racing game series ever: MotorStorm. Codemasters’ next-gen enabled racer is looking like an immense amount of fun and is trying to bring that racing festival atmosphere to the series.
Today, the studio dropped off a fresh new trailer showcasing the next-gen visuals, specifically for the Xbox Series X version. The PS5 version will be coming a little later on, but we’re assuming it will hit the same performance targets which include super fast loading, 4K at (up to) 120fps visuals and some great looking lighting, weather effects and environments.
And as for that MotorStorm connection…. when Sony shuttered Evolution Studios Codemasters picked them up rebranded them as Codemasters Evo and then Codemasters Cheshire (what they are known as today), so it all makes sense. But we digress.
DIRT 5 hits the Xbox One and PS4 on November 6th, 2020; Xbox Series X|S on November 10th; PS5 “later this year” November 12th, and the Google Stadia in early 2021.
Check out the trailer below and stay tuned for more coverage.

“It?s hard to believe that in less than a month, DIRT 5 will make its mark on the next generation of consoles,” said Robert Karp, DIRT 5 Development Director. ?The studio has done an incredible job, and we can?t wait for players to join us in the lobbies. With a Career mode featuring the voice acting talents of Troy Baker and Nolan North, Playgrounds, Arcade and split-screen and multiplayer options, there is so much variety, and DIRT 5 offers something for every type of racing fan.”
