Players must master the likes of rally cars, rock bouncers, buggies, and more if they’re to prove themselves in the DIRT Series. The Career boasts the voice talents of gaming icons, Troy Baker and Nolan North, alongside Donut Media’s James Pumphrey and Nolan Sykes, and cameos from the world of gaming and motorsport.
Dirt 5 of course, is also wrapped around an exclusive in-game advertising deal between Codemasters and ad-tech company, Bidstack for the provision of programmatic ads in native spaces that will not distract the gamer from their gameplay immersion.

Once verified by the creator, Playgrounds are available for anyone to download, and post their best scores to the global leaderboards.
