Good news DIRT 5 owners, the latest game update – entitled ‘2.00’ – is now live and brings with it some seasonal content, steering wheel support and vital bug fixes.
The free update is available to all PC, PS4 and PS5 owners now (20th December 2020) and comes to Xbox One and Xbox Series players a couple of days later on 22nd December 2020.
Let’s start with the exciting elements, and by that we mean shiny new things.
The Snow Limits Free Content Pack includes the ability to create Playgrounds levels with the weather set to snow alongside a suite of new items including ice loops, yuletide wreath checkpoints, start/finish gates made from gingerbread and baubles for the Smash Attack mode. Meanwhile, if you are creating a Gymkhana level, you now have access to items such as Nutcracker figurines, ice sculptures for drift gates, on-track presents to smash into destructible snowmen.
During the winter period, expect the snow theme to be popular amongst the community-created events found within the game. Speaking of which, John has been having fun recently by trying to set quickest times on some of the highest-rated levels.
But, what about additional career events and new cars?
Well, there aren’t any new cars in this update sadly nor an expanded career, but there is a new seasonal livery for both the Ford Mustang GT4, resplendent in a green and red design, and the Porsche Cayenne Transsyberia, which sports a fresh icy look.
These are alongside five new lanyards, stickers and car backgrounds to customise your profile with and a new winter-themed Sprint race event playable in Arcade, Time Trial or online at the Roosevelt Island location.
