Codemasters has announced that it has delayed the release date of Dirt 5 by a few weeks, from Oct. 16 to Nov. 6. The studio didn’t specify the exact reason for the delay, however. Those who purchase the “Amplified Edition” of Dirt 5 will be able to play the game early on Nov. 3 through its early access perk.
Dirt 5 is releasing on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on that November release date. The Google Stadia version is slated to release in early 2021. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game are still on track for a 2020 release later.
Furthermore, players who purchase either the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions will receive the corresponding next-generation upgrade for free. According to Codemasters developer Rob Karp, PlayStation 5 has the option of running Dirt 5 at 120 FPS. The game features a campaign, as well as split-screen and online multiplayer.
News: DIRT 5 will now launch on November 6 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. #XboxSeriesX and #PS5 versions still launching later this year.

Codemasters states that more news and gameplay footage will follow up until its November release. These details will include new cars and locations, additional next-gen features and multiplayer functions, and the final list of cars.
Check out The Escapist’s preview of Dirt 5‘s Playgrounds mode. Mark Delaney said that “modes like Playgrounds appeal to a much wider base, a la Forza Horizon‘s open world or its Lego DLC. In that way, Playgrounds makes for a wonderful ramp for the series’s future.”
