Codemasters changes Dirt 5 release date

Codemasters is all set to launch Dirt 5 later this year, with versions coming to current and next generation consoles as well as PC. While the game was originally scheduled to launch on the 9th of October though, some extra time is needed. 

Dirt 5 will now release on the 16th of October instead of the 9th. No specific reason was given for the delay, perhaps another game is launching that week and Codemasters wanted some distance from it, or perhaps there was a delay somewhere with the production of physical copies, requiring some extra time for the game to get to retailers.

For those pre-ordering the Dirt 5 Amplified Edition will still get three days of early access to the game, essentially moving the release date to October 13th.

This latest version of Dirt 5 pushes consoles to their limits with the introduction of 120Hz modes on PS5 and Xbox Series X. As always, it will also support the full capabilities of high-end PC gaming rigs and various peripherals. This time around, a lot of extra effort has also been put into the game's career mode, as well as a “brand new feature never seen before in the DIRT franchise”.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
