Undoubtedly the biggest change coming to the title with this update is the addition of cross-play, which will open up the multiplayer experience.

This feature will be available for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC (Windows and Steam players), with the feature coming later to Google Stadia players.

This means that multiplayer lobbies can now include players across multiple platforms, and should lead to busier online races, and more exciting events!

Red Bull content and Playgrounds

The reason that update is named Red Bull Revolution is due to DIRT 5 and the energy company teaming up to bring us this content.

As well as the new Red Bull arch, we also have new weather conditions for Playground arenas in Arizona, South Africa and Italy. So enjoy some wet and windy action across the globe, and add some cinematic, epic moments to your arenas!
