With the combination of different elements and also the inclusion of a day-to-night transition, Codemasters attempts to make things seem fresh the more the game is played. There are over 70 different routes spread across 10 different countries in D IRT 5. Codemasters attempts to shake things up with the variety of car classes here. Sprint Cars even make their debut as players will be sliding around ovals in first gear fighting traction to try to win races. Other generic classes include a Rock Climber, Formula Off-Road, Unlimited, Super-Lites and much more. Classic Rally, ’80s Rally, ’90s Rally and Modern Rally classes will bring the noteworthy Fords, Mitsubishis and Subarus for fan enjoyment. Cross Raid cars contain crossover vehicles such as the Volkswagen Toureg while there are separate classes for rally-inspired classes. Yes, the famous Group B cars are represented, as well. There are plenty of licensed cars in the game both old and new.

Each has a distinct handling characteristic as the vehicles will handle slightly different depending on the conditions. Players can expect to race on a combination of asphalt, dry dirt, mud, snow and even ice. There are quite a few classes of vehicles here along with a ton of varying terrain and conditions.

It makes you wonder why Codemasters bothered with the previous generation version in the first place, but thankfully the new hardware severely improves the experience of DIRT 5.ĭIRT 5 isn’t just about rally, but rather is a true appreciation for all forms of off-road racing.

On the PlayStation 5, DIRT 5 takes full advantage of the DualSense Controller and gives players visual options, including a 120hz mode, for players to enjoy. The previous generation version of the game left much to be desired. The free upgrade to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X meant that Codemasters could truly display how the off-road racing title was meant to be experienced. Codemasters has decided to make its DIRT 5 title cross-generation with the previous generation releasing a few weeks ago.
