Dirt 5 slips a few weeks from its planned release date

Codemasters have announced that Dirt 5 will now release on November 6, slipping from its initially planned release date of October 16.

“DIRT 5 has received widespread critical acclaim, culminating with it receiving the gamescom 2020 Best Racing Game Award,” said Frank Sagnier, Chief Executive Officer at Codemasters. “The revised launch date will allow us to take advantage of the next generation console launches which are expected in time for the holiday season."

While not a big delay, given the year that we have had, it is not surprising to see another game slip, even if its just a few weeks.

The game will be out on November 6 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, with Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 versions releasing, whenever the consoles are released.
