Dirt 5 Announces New Content Pack, Free Update | Game Rant
Dirt 5 is getting a new expansion along with a free content update. Developer Codemasters released a blog post revealing details for an upcoming patch to its flagship racing title, Dirt 5.
The off-road racing title sees players going head-to-head on various terrains. Along with rallycross and off-road buggies, Codemasters includes a plethora of locations from Italy to racing gameplay in China. A large part of the game is the vehicles available, and it looks like the content update is adding in multiple new machines to enjoy.
Of the many cars in Dirt 5, the four new vehicles are coming as part of the Energy Content Pack. Two of these are trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the GMC Sierra Pre-Runner. According to the post, both of these vehicles come with incredible power and can handle most extreme conditions. On the sportier side, fans can look forward to the Alpine A110 Sports X and the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. The Porsche does represent a switch to electric, but both cars are perfect for handling the diverse routes.
Fortunately, all four of these vehicles can be played in any mode on next-gen consoles, including Career. In addition to 25 events coming to the game, Codemasters is also unleashing a free content update for all players. The Junkyard Playground update adds in a unique mode where fans can create and share custom racing arenas. There are 20 items to design courses with, and creators can upload their areans for others to find. The free update and Energy Content Pack will be coming to the game on February 22.
As one of the best launch titles for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, Dirt 5 has been around for a few months. It seems like the team behind the off-road racing experience is still focusing on bringing exciting content to the game though. With four new cars to drive and extra events, hardcore players will have good reason to hop back in. Plus, the Junkyard Playground update should provide an extensive amount of replayability due to its creative nature.
The only real downside is that the four cars in the Energy Content Pack are not free to all players. Only to those who have the Amplified Edition and players who bought the Year One upgrade. Otherwise, the new vehicles will need to be purchased separately to access. This stipulation also includes the 25 special events, so fans looking for more in-game activities will need to shell out some additional dough. All that aside, it sounds like Dirt 5 is going to have a lot more to do when the update comes out.
Dirt 5 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
