DiRT 4 is currently in development for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.

DiRT 4 release date announced for summer 2017

The follow-up to 2016’s critically acclaimed off-road racing title, DiRT Rally, this fourth numbered entry in the long-running franchise will arrive in stores on June 9, 2017, and includes a host of new features in comparison to its predecessor. 

Chief among these is the ‘game changing’ Your Stage feature, which allows you to effortlessly produce a near infinite number of unique race tracks. Gamers simply pick their location and set the route parameters, after which this new feature will do the grunt work and cobble together a unique rally stage that you can speed around and share with friends. If you fancy it, you can even challenge your friends to beat your time. 

DiRT 4 will take players around the world to locations such as Australia, Spain and California, and “challenges you to “Be Fearless” by capturing the thrill, emotion and passion of off-road racing. It recreates the heady mix of adrenalin and fear that comes from powering around a blind bend and the rush you feel going for a last ditch overtake when there’s not enough room on the final lap of a race. Off-road racing is about more than perfect cornering, it’s about heart-pounding split section decision making where bravery brings reward.”
