<p>After the release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/dirt-4">Dirt 4</a> in 2017 and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/dirt-rally-20">Dirt Rally 2.0</a> last year, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/codemasters">Codemasters</a> was ready to release the next title in their racing franchise <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/dirt-5">Dirt 5</a> in October. Too bad for anyone excited though, because the game has been delayed by almost a month.</p>

<p>Codemasters has announced that Dirt 5 will now launch on Nov. 6, 2020 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.</p> 

<p>This new date is said to be set so that all versions of Dirt 5 can release within the same timeframe. They also announce that the version that’s available for next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X will release around the time of the holiday season.</p>

<p>CEO of Codemasters Frank Sagnier had this to say about the launch:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">“DIRT 5 has received widespread critical acclaim, culminating with it receiving the gamescom 2020 Best Racing Game Award… 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."</div>

<p>A <a href="https://whatoplay.com/stadia/dirt-5">Google Stadia version</a> is also said to be in the works, but it will be available come 2021. There is also an Amplified Edition of the game which will come with exclusive content plus three days early access.</p>

<p>Based on what we’ve seen from the game so far, it looks like Dirt 5 will be a great update to Codemasters’ critically acclaimed franchise. Though a delay is a big bummer for fans, at least it will only be by a month (even less than that).</p>
