DIRT 5 IMAGE QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE PS4
Generally, it looks like a current-gen console game that would have struggled to hit a smooth 60fps on Xbox One X or PS4 Pro, especially at resolutions higher than 1080p. Maybe some ray tracing (though, let's be real, we're still waiting on anything with ray tracing enabled to exceed 30fps on one of this year's consoles).ĭiRT 5 fails to meet pretty much all of those bullet points. Incredible texture fidelity on people and terrain. Larger crowds of people and vehicles, powered by a substantial boost to CPU specs. Virtual worlds that can stretch much further into the distance, owing to a faster I/O architecture.
DIRT 5 IMAGE QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE SERIES
When I think about the promise of Xbox Series or PlayStation 5, I look back at bullet-point lists in the recent hype cycle. The first major issue with DiRT 5 is how seemingly current-gen the whole game looks. But DiRT 5's first taste of 120Hz racing on a console, and what it takes to get there, is fascinating enough to merit an asterisk-covered preview. I urge you to keep an eye out for more next-gen game impressions before loading ammunition into your preferred "console war" cannon. I want to be clear: DiRT 5, in its pre-release preview state, is not the best foot forward for Xbox Series X, and I'm not entirely sure it's representative of the console's next-gen promise. That's a substantial increase from the 60fps max of past console generations (and a big rally-car leap above the 30fps cap you typically see on current-gen games). What's more, it is the first game I've ever tested for a bespoke game console with frame rates up to 120fps. Today, for the first time, I'm allowed to lift the curtain on a game made for Xbox Series consoles: DiRT 5, the latest drift-heavy racing game from Codemasters. Most of my effort has revolved around its massive backwards-compatible feature set-as seen in a very long feature about how older games benefit from newer hardware.
DIRT 5 IMAGE QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE UPDATE
You can join the discussion on DIRT 5's performance improving update for PS5 and Ryzen PC players on the OC3D Forums.While I have been testing a pre-release Xbox Series X console for nearly a month, ahead of its November 10 launch, I have had very few new games to test on it. The content pack is free as part of DIRT 5's Amplified Edition and Year One editions or available as an add-on for owners of the base game. In short, DIRT 5 now looks better than before, and the game now runs better on PlayStation 5 and on PCs with AMD Ryzen processors.ĭIRT 5's Energy Content Pack will include four new cars, 25 new career events, two new car sponsors, and new cosmetic options for liverys, stickers, lanyards and more. Other technical improvements included with this update are visual improvements to the game's in cockpit/ interior camera views and fixes to the game's lighting across multiple areas of the game.

PS5 players will be happy to know that the game will include "fixes and improvements" to prevent "frame rate drops and stutters" across all visual modes, and PC gamers should expect "improvements" if they are using AMD Ryzen processors. DIRT 5's latest update is here, and it delivers a lot of new content with the game's Energy Content Pack and more items for the game's Junkyard Playgrounds mode.
