FAQ:
What is it then?
The latest offering from the rally lovers at codemasters.

So it's Dirt 5 then really?
No, this is the sequel to the acclaimed Dirt Rally from 2015. Dirt 4 will likely get it's own successor later on

Sim? Arcade? Both?
Simulation. They want this to be the most realistic rally game out there. No sim or gamer modes, just pure sim.

What's new from the first one then?
Alongside the changes and new features above. The physics have been taken apart and rewritten from the ground up. Improving the relationship between the car and environment, improving Tyre physics, aero modelling and much more to make it feel as authentic as possible. New weather effects and new environmental effects will add to the challenge.

So a season pass eh?
Yes, for the first time ever in a Dirt series game. This will entail 6 new locations across rally and rallycross and ten new vehicles.

VR support?
No, not at launch at least.
Update: is coming, Oculus confirmed.

 

So basically the Porsche will be available with every version, I guess.

Gamemania in the Netherlands also offers the steelbook edition:

The Delux edition has:

@kikie , so the Deluxe edition won't have the Alpine nor the Fiat then?

 

It is safe to say that these two cars will also be included in the Delux edition and the cars I mentioned are an addition to the standard edition.

That is how I see, I could be wrong though.

 

As I understand you get them in your garage from the get go instead of having to unlock them in game.

 

I will probably get the standard Day One edition unless someone can tell me what Dirt Season 1&2 entail. Anyone know?

 

From the Codemasters Website:

What's confirmed is a total of 6 new environments and 10 early vehicle unlocks.

The "early vehicle unlocks" sound a bit vague to me, it could either imply something similar to The Crew 2 where all cars are free while Deluxe Edition owners get them at an earlier date, or another scenario where car packs can be bought at a later date for owners of lesser editions.

 

The Deluxe version includes all DLC for the first 2 seasons. Which means an additional 6 locations and 10 cars.

 

How much will the Delux version cost more?

 

In the UK the deluxe version is £20 more. I would expect a similar difference across euros and dollars.

 

€20 more but prices vary between €69 and €89 for the deluxe version.

 

I will be pre ordering the deluxe edition on pay day.

Polo R5, Poland, night




Heavy rain

 

Same here, just love rally. Threw the dice today and pre ordered the deluxe version. $129 in OZ. Wishing for VR DLC in future for more immersion, but not a deal breaker for me. Just hoping the physics surpasses the standard set in DR.

 

And the latest one:

 

According to GameMania

• 4 dagen eerder spelen (you get to play it 4 days before release)
  
• Porsche 911 RGT Rally Spec
• Geüpgradede ‘My Team’ starter voertuigen (voertuigen = vehicles or cars)
  
• Vroegtijdige toegang tot 5 voertuigen: (early access to 5 cars)
  • Ford Escort Mk II

  • In-game bonussen
  • High reward events

• DiRT Rally 2.0 - Day One Edition
  De Day One Edition bevat de volgende extra's:
  
  • Porsche 911 RGT Rally Spec
  • Early Unlocks voor de Fiat 131 Abarth Rally en de Alpine Renault A110 1600 S ( early access Fiat 131 and A110)
• Pre-order at Game mania and you get the Opel Kadett GT/E for free.

 

Still not sure how the Fiat 131 Abarth Rally en de Alpine Renault A110 1600 S will fit in the Deluxe Edition.

Good thing is that gamemania has the steelbook edition.

 

They'll still be there but I would assume they won't be starter cars.

 

Anyone else would like to see that Fiat X1/9 + Lancia Monte Carlo and of course Monte itself

 

From what I understood is that people who order the Deluxe Edition will have the steelbook included. My order shows it also. Nice touch

 

Where have you ordered from? Amazon UK still hasn't got anything about the steelbook.

 

I ordered from shop4fr.com but also shopto.net has it. Amazon doesn't sell steelbook. Was posted by Dirt Twitter account.

 

Ah must have missed that. The first announcement months ago mentioned Amazon. Thanks for letting me know.

 

Amazon UK are no longer sending steel books (blame the publisher rather than Codies for that **** up). If you’re in GB you may wish to switch your preorder to https://www.shopto.net/Gsi/Search?newsearch=DiRT+Rally+2

 

Updated main post.

 

No league play in this version

 

Oculus VR confirmed .
