DIRT 5 SCORES HIGH WITH CRITICS
DIRT 5 has been released and the critic scores are in, there is a heap of info below and you can watch the accolades trailer, or you can be here and read my quick break down on what DIRT 5 is all about...
I've played DIRT 5 on the Xbox One X and the Xbox Series S. The game itself is a definite leap in the DIRT series and is just good fun. One thing though, The Series S doesn't do it justice, the One X runs it smooth and crisp, the Series S is only good for the ray tracing bits which are a small part.
Quite simply, if you like dirt racing titles then you need to try out DIRT 5. If you can get your hands on the PS5, Series X or on the PC it will definitely be a good opener to next gen gaming.
