Codemasters Confirms PlayStation 4 & 5 Versions For Dirt 5

Last week, we learned about the upcoming lineup of marketed properties that will be shipping for the Xbox Series X during the latest Inside Xbox presentation. During the first few announcement made, Codemasters made an appearance to share that Dirt 5 will be coming to Xbox One alongside the approaching Xbox Series X and PC. While the game was also suspected to be shipping with other versions of the game, the team finally addressed it for Sony in a recent blog post.

Over on PlayStation Blog, Codemasters’ Community Manager Chris Groves shares that the next mainline entry for the series will debut for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 later on in the coming months. “Hey there! It’s Chris Groves here, the lead Social and Community Manager for Dirt 5, launching later this year on PS4 and PS5,” Groves announces at the beginning of the post.

Aside from the prominent news regarding the game to ship outside of Xbox platform and PC, Groves goes on to disclose more aspects on the upcoming racer. For starters, Groves amplifies the overall feel of the game to be like no other, sharing that the coming release will offer experiences that makes Dirt 5 unique. And the substance also is told to vary from prior entries.

He adds that the aesthetic style o the game ranging from the cars, locales, and music tracks will grasp player attention even more than what already roared the fanbase from the announcement trailer. Groves then reiterates on the revealed partnership with Nolan North & Troy Baker for the story-based career mode by sharing that “[Dirt 5] will set the scene for you to rise from obscurity to infamy, but not everyone you meet is willing to share the spotlight.”

Unlike with Microsoft’s hardware, however, Sony nor Codemasters has yet to confirm if cross-buy support will be applied to Dirt 5 as of reporting. The game does support it for Xbox One & Xbox Series X via Smart Delivery.

Developer Hardsuit Labs also acted upon disclosing information on opposing hardware previously at separate times. A day after the initial next0generation announcement at Microsoft’s show, the Seattle developer shared that PlayStation 5 can expect its own version of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 to ship later on.
