Including the current-gen Xbox One, with Codemasters latest in the DIRT series - DIRT 5 - set to make its debut later this year. Pointing to a launch day or launch window release for the Xbox Series X. Announced during the latest Xbox 20/20 focused episode of Inside Xbox, we also got the first game trailer showcasing next-gen rally racing.


Here's the skinny from Codemasters.

From the stunning locations, to the epic racing, to the variety of vehicles and surfaces. We’re putting you behind the wheel of incredible off-road machines, in iconic real-world settings, to race through dynamic routes and extreme conditions. But don’t forget the concept. All that racing action is only part of the story.

We wanted to go bigger, in all possible ways. Take Career, which hands you a deep story-based mode with a star-studded cast, led by the legendary Troy Baker and Nolan North. These legendary voices of gaming, and some familiar names from the car culture world, lay out a story with decision-based changes and a proper narrative to get your teeth into.

There’s the franchise’s deepest livery editor and in-race Photo Mode, where you can show off your creative side. Then you’ve got the 12-player multiplayer action with playful objective-based modes, the four-player split-screen for offline frolics with your pals, and even more brand new features we’ll be revealing more on soon… I’m basically listing stuff at this point, but there’s so much going on here!

No word on what exact additional visual or gameplay features the Xbox Series X will bring to the table - but we assume its higher frame-rates and detail with the console's superior load times.
