''[=DIRT 5=]'' was announced during the Xbox Live Presentation on May 7, 2020, and is set for release for current-gen consoles and UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows October 16 of the same year, and a release for UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 and [[UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS Xbox Series X and Series S]] in 2021. The game goes back to the aesthetics of ''2'' and ''3'' and includes many of the disciplines from the previous titles - including buggies, super trucks, ice racing, rallycross and gymkhana. The game also introduces a full weather and seasons system where certain events are only available on determined seasons. Finally, a full-fledged livery editor a la ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' is also included for the first time ever in a Codemasters game and a narrative-focused career mode featuring the voice talents of Creator/TroyBaker and Creator/NolanNorth.

** One of the possible remarks your mechanic can make before a Gymkhana event in ''[=DiRT 3=]'' is "[[Film/ApocalypseNow I love the smell of gymkhana in the morning. You know, that gasoline smell? Smells like victory.]]"



-->'''Dave Mirra''': Hey [player], that should ''not'' have happened.\\
'''Katie Justice''': Concentrate, man!

* AbsurdlyLowLevelCap: In ''[=DiRT 3=]'', your Driver Reputation level maxes out at 30. You're likely to reach this before you even finish the third season, leaving you absolutely no incentive to do the bonus missions during the fourth and final season, since the XP you get for them is now meaningless.



* AntiFrustrationFeatures: ''[=DiRT 2=]'' and ''3'' borrow the Flashback mechanic from another Codemasters' racing series, ''VideoGame/{{GRiD}}''.

* DifficultButAwesome: Group B cars are hard to tame especially with ''[=DiRT=] Rally's'' physics like in real life, with enough experience they are a blast to rally around with and are hands down the fastest accelarating cars in the game. On asphalt especially, where the imprecise handling, and the often very sizeable torque steer and body roll, can be compensated for with setup tweeks, they are competetive with the modern cars.
